Guest Noctaire Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Ok, this one has me scratching my head a bit so I figured I'd see if anyone here (maybe an MVP?) had an idea. Win2K3 Ent box, not sure offhand what patch level. Going into the options for DEP (System Properties/Advanced/Performance Options/Data Execution Prevention tab) I find EVERYTHING is greyed out. Thing is, DEP is NOT disabled on the box though. Looking in the boot.ini, the box has /NoExecute=OptOut. I'm logging in with administrator rights, other boxes in the enterprise are configurable here but not this one. Any suggestions where to look?

You can't make ANY changes via the GUI -- be it the addition of exceptions or otherwise. It's definitely something unique to this box though; I have plenty of other boxes under my influence that don't suffer the issue. And DEP is definitely enabled; an install exited on this box for just this reason (although the app could have issued an incorrect error, it's a mainstream app so that's not a common issue with DEP). I'm REALLY hoping someone has an answer on this; I'm not getting anywhere and the last thing I want to do is reconfig this box over something this small.
