Windows Media Services, reduction of rights

[Guest David]

I have several people that need to manage a Windows Media Services 9 server.

Without giving them administrator permissions, I cannot get them to connect.

I have followed http://support.microsoft.com/kb/842072 and this does not

work. Ultimately I would like to deploy the admin tool and have people

connect without being local admins.

Hi,

 

From your description, I understand you followed the KB 842072 article to

grand the necessary permissions to some users who are not the member of

administrators group and will manage Windows Media Services 9 server.

However, the result failed with "cannot connect". If there is any

misunderstanding, please let me know.

 

I also tested the workaround included in this article in my environment,

and I encountered the same problem as yours. I found this entry in my event

viewer " The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local

Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID

to the user WINSRV2003-04\a SID (S-1-5-21-¡­..). This security permission

can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool."

 

I research this error message and got to know we should also grand this

user the activation permission of Windows media services. Please navigate

as following to grand this permission:

 

Click Start, point to Run, type dcomcnfg, and then click OK.

Under Console Root, expand the following nodes: Component Services

->Computers ->My Computer ->DCOM Config and Locate and right-click the

Windows Media Services component, point to Properties, and then click the

Security tab. Under "Launch and activation permission" to grand the target

users the activation permission.

 

By doing so, if this error message still displays, please enclose the

corresponding system event log with error messages and post back. Thanks.

 

I hope this helps.
