Troubleshooting

What problem are you having?

I've denied the Everyone group access to an object, but not even administrators have access to it.

Cause:  Everyone means everyone including administrators.

Solution:  The owner of the object must change the permission entries on the object. The owner of an object always has the right to change the permission entries.

I'm connected to a remote computer using my credentials, but I cannot modify the Access Control List of remote resources.

Cause:  You have authenticated to the remote computer using an authentication mechanism that does not support ADSI, so the credentials cannot be used to authenticate ADSI communication. This is the type of communication that is used to set or modify the Access Control List in some cases.

Solution:  Close the application you are using. Close all connections to the remote computer by typing net use * /d at a command prompt, then start the application that you are using to modify the Access Control List. This will force the application to perform a new authentication using the appropriate mechanism.
