Error trying to add new distribution groups
Hi all,
I have a smal problem when I try and add a new distribution group on SBS2003 (SP1). I click on Distrubution Groups from the Server Management console and can see the original distribution group set up when I originally added the users to the system. but when I click on Add a New Group, the wizards first screen appears but when I click on next I get the following error
"addgrp.exe - Application error"
The instruction at "0x000d1718" referenced memory at "0x000d1718". The memory could not be "writtin".
Click OK to terminate or Cancel to Debug.
Clicking on either cancels the program.
I am using the administrator ID and the adminstrator console to try and do this task. I'm pretty sure that the server is up-to-date with all patches, as auto updates is on and set to download and install everyday at 15:00.
All help welcome.
TIA
Mark

Hi TechSoEasy,
Unfortunately the Administrator has always had a mailbox.
Anyhow, I went to the server this morning and there was a message from Microsoft saying that "Data Execution Prevention (DEP)" was blocking SBS add group wizard from running!
So I had to change the settings in DEP to allow a Microsoft program to run on a Microsoft platform - how very bizarre - but that seems to have sorted it.
Thought I'd post the solution in case anyone else runs into a similar problem where microsoft stops it's own programs from executing!
Thanks for your suggestion though and Regards
