Steven,
  There are no messages in the Event Viewer that I can see. Yes this PC is
a domain machine. As for the rights on the directories that you
mentioned, I have full admin rights on the directories. As well as full
admin rights on the mmc.exe file. Assuming that the PC realizes that I am
contained within the local Administrators group, but I don't see how I would
get access if I didn't have the rights. Yup, I only have remote access.
It's a real pain in the arse, but it's all that I have. Any other
ideas!?...
Thanks.
