"MMC has detected an error in a snap-in." When trying to manage Local Users and Groups.
MMC 3.0 v6.1 build 7600
Windows 2008 R2 Standard
In the "Computer Management" console when attempting to access user properties, or when attempting to add the "Local Users and Groups" snap-in to a generic MMC the following error occurs.
"MMC has detected an error in a snap-in. It is recommended that you shut down and restart MMC."
Giving two options:
1) Report this error to Microsoft, and then shut down MMC.
2) Ignore this error and continue running.

Or replace mmc.exe from the running machine.

Thanks,

This hotfix is for 2003 pre sp2 and reates to the GP snap-in.
"Or replace mmc.exe from the running machine. "
The file is a protected system file with only "Trusted Installer" having delete rights. Any thoughts on the repercussions of takling ownership or any other method of replacing this file?

Yes, I saw the 2003 after posting.
It might be a risk regarding the taking ownership. I'd try it.
If you click continue, the error is still ther, right ?

The error clears and MMC stays open. The error recurs each time I attempt any user operation.
Try renaming the following file related to lusrmgr.....
"%appdata%\Microsoft\MMC\"
"%appdata%\Microsoft\MMC\"
ASKER
"%appdata%\Microsoft\MMC\"
The only file in that path is for server manager.
