Why am I unable to access Sharepoint 2010 Central Admin from my user name?
I am a farm administrator but unable to access central administration from my desktop or the server. is there somewhere else the security needs set to access central administration?

You must be a member of Site Collection Administrators and Farm Administrators. Are these set?

I just verified and yes my account is registered as a site collection administrator and as a farm administrator
Are you getting an access denied from your desktop? or page not displayed?

It has me try to login 3 times, then simply goes to a blank page with no errors listed

It is IE 7 (unfortunately lol). Let me try it and get right back to you

OK, I made that change and no go. I tried a laptop with my username a few minutes ago and it works under my name, even without the above setting changed. t has to be something to do with IE or my PC not allowing me to access. Any other ideas on this? Thanks for your help so far!

OK just found the issue, yay! I had to uncheck "Enable Windows Authentication" in "Internet Options" - "Advanced Settings" (screenprint attached). Thank you for your help as it narrowed down the issue to IE, not SharePoint!
ASKER
Thank you much!
Glad you got it fixed.
