Permission denied accessing windows firewall
- by Simon Sabin
It doesn't matter who I am logged in as I am getting the following error in the mmc console when I launch the firewall advanced settings
There was an error opening the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security snap in
You do not have the correct permissions to open the Windows Firewall with Advanced
Security console, You must be a member of the Administrators group or the Network
Operators group to perform this task. For more information, contact your system
administrator. Error code: 0x5.
Ive tried processmonitor to identify what permission is being denied but no luck.
If I run netsh directly I get access denied as well.
This is running windows server 2008 SP2. And yes I was running as an administrator.
Any ideas?
