RE: Access denied to local computer, even as ADMIN !! 2005-07-05 - By Ken Schaefer
AFAIK, the metabase doesn't obey NT rights (such as SeTcbPrivilege or
SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege), but maybe it does.
My suggestion: download Metabase Explorer (part of the IIS6.0 Resource Kit,
but it works with IIS5.1 as well) [1]. Right-click on the root-node and
choose "Permissions". If Administrators group is not listed, attempt to add
it. If you can't add it, go to the Owner tab, and seize ownership of the
entire heirachy, then do the preceeding step.
If the metabase permissions actually honour the NT rights, then ensure (via
the Local Security Policy) that your Admin account has "Take Ownership
Privileges) [2]
Cheers
Ken

: Even when you are an administrator, ACLs (Access Control Lists) can be
: configured to deny access to administrators. It's just that, by default,
: administrators have access to most things. However, that doesn't stop the
: default ACLs being modified.
:
: As a general rule however, Administrators can take ownership of most
: resources (which, in turn gives them permission to alter the ACLs, given
: them
: access to the resource in question).
:
: It seems that the Administrator account doesn't have permissions to keys
: in
: the IIS metabase. You may need to reset the permissions on those keys.
