    Have group policy set up to allow the HelpDesk to manage print spooler
    services on all servers. The group is not member of local Admin group.

    Installed SP1 on one of the servers. The group is now unable to open the
    services on this server. Full error:

    Unable to open service control manager database on servername.
    Error 5: Access is denied.

    Am able to open computer in computer management, but still get access denied
    when try to access services.

    Thanks in advance for your help
