Hi,

I cannot log on to my machine with the administrator account. Here is the
error from the event log:

Any thoughts?

Hello,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft newsgroup!

From your post, my understanding on this issue is: you get event 1505 when
you log on as the administrator in Vista. If I'm off base, please feel free
to let me know.

It seems like the administrator does not have enough privilege on his
profile folder. Please try the following steps to fix this issue:

1. Click Start menu and click Computer
2. Double click local disk C (or any other driver you installed Vista)
3. Double click Users folder
4. Right click on "Administrator" folder and click properties
5. Click Security tab
6. Confirm the account Administrator (IWAN\Administrator) is in the list
and have full control of the folder
7. If administrator is not in the list, click edit and click Add in the
popped out window
8. Type "IWAN\administrator" and click OK
9. Click Full Control and click Apply
10. Re-login the administrator account and check whether the problem is
fixed

Please let me know if you have any other concerns, or need anything else.

Hi,

Thank you for your response. I checked, and the administrator account does
have full control permission on that folder.

Thanks,

Hi,

Please help me collect an MPS Report, I'll check event logs in it and do
some further diagnoses.
To generate an MPS Report
------------------------------------
1. Download MPS Report tool from below URL:
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...5-a579-30b0bd9
15706/MPSRPT_SETUPPerf.EXE
2. Execute the tool on the computer, and if you are prompted "Include the
MSINFO32 report?", please type Y.
3. Please send the result file (CAB file) to me at v-secai@microsoft.com.

For detailed information about the MPS Report Tools, please refer to the
following link:
Microsoft Product Support's Reporting Tools
<http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...3C7C-7CA5-408F
-88B7-F9C79B7306C0&displaylang=en

In addition to the MPS Report, collect the privilege settings on the users
folder:
1. Click Start and type "cmd" in the "Start Search"
2. Run command "cd.." to switch to the users folder
3. Run command "cacls * >ACL.TXT"
4. Send the ACL.txt file to me as well

Please let me know if you have any other concerns, or need anything else.

Hi,

I tried to run the MPS Report tool, but it did not work. It began to
install, and I saw the MPS white screen with blue font show several lines of
"1 file(s) copied", then there was another line of text that I just briefly
saw, before the window disappeared, and then Vista gave me the "This program
did not install correctly" box . Is there maybe a new version of this tool
for Vista?

I will send you the other information you requested to your e-mail in just a
minute.

Thanks,
I. Kinal

OK, I just tried to run the cacls command on the users folder, and it gave me
an "Access is Denied".

Hi,

I didn't get your mail in the past few days. Can you try again?

Since I won't be in the office in the next a few days, my response maybe
slow. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

Have a good day!

Hello,

I'm sorry for the slow response since I wasn't in office in the last few
days. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The administrator should have full control privilege on the Users folder.
Please check the security settings on the Users folder and do the following
steps:
1. Click Start and type "cmd" in the "Start Search"
2. Run command "whoami"
3. Paste the output to the newsgroup

Hi,

It occurred to me that I did not try to run the cacls command in the context
of the administrator account. When I did so, it worked. I have emailed you
the results.

Thanks,
I. Kinal
