Guest blink Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Hello, I get this message while trying to access the "Computer Name" tab in "System Properties": The following error occurred while attempting to read domain membership information. Access is denied. I am logged in under local administrator for the computer which is Windows XP PRO SP2. The domain level function running in Windows Server 2003. When I click on the error I can get to the "Computer Name" tab but where the domain is it states: *Unknown* I have tried removing the computer from the domain but I get the "Access is Denied" error. I have even been able to logon as the Domain Administrator which should be in the administrators group, I had put it in previously. This seems to be happening on a couple of other workstations, same configuration hardware and software. I believe the problem is on the 2003 AD Server but can't find anything. Please help me. Thanks in advance.
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Re: Computer Name Changes Hello blink, Just to understand you right. Logging in as local admin or domain admin will give you an Access denied error when doing administrative tasks? Did you check the Restricted groups configuration in your GPO's? There you can rconfigure in the complete domain the local administrators, for example.

Guest blink Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Re: Computer Name Changes Hello Meinolf, I have checked all the GPO in the AD everything is disabled and the local GPO is also disabled. I have been able to boot into safe mode rename and access the Computer Name Changes Tab from the same account I was logining in with. Was able to successfully change the name and change it to a workgroup. Reboot normally after changing it and same problem returns. Even deleted all the .POL files from the GroupPolicy folder. Ran multiple virus scan agents with no results. Installed new computers to the AD and the have not seen the error. Problem is occuring on same LAN different subnet, haven't wiped yet, bugs me out!
