Is this the built in Domain admin username and password you are using on this server?

Well, I had to look it up:

Maybe file association:

From what I have seen, it looks like your error is usually paired with .MSI file assocation.

hi,

in my case, the problem still persist. however, I find a little way around opening my admin pads and other .msc.

open the mmc from run (i.e type "mmc" into run box)
it opens up the mmc. now from file > open, locate any .msc you wanna open, it should open from here.

That should also have the history of the last four .msc you opened.

I hope that is helpful while we await a permanent solution.

thanks for the tip of the mmc. Hopefully we can find a solution soon.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
