Re: User Rights Assignment - not available



I went through both the integrity check and did a repair anyway. Result
is the same. I'm guessing here that this may be a permissions problem.
Everything else on the "Local Policy" mmc is accessible and changeable. It's
just the "User Rights Assignment" that is bad.

When I went to rebuild (copying and renmaing as the article suggests) I
did get the access denied. Unfortunately "Import Template" was greyed out
when I used the filename secedit.sdb. Any other name and it was fine.

Is there somewhere in the registry I can check for permissions that
might be causing this behaviour?

Thanks

Hmm. It sounds like you may have a corrupt secedit.sdb file. See the link
below for two possibilities of which one is to attempt a repair with
esentutl and the other is a rebuild. --- Steve

To resolve this issue, first run the Esentutl.exe tool to examine the
integrity of the Secedit.sdb database. To do this, follow these steps: 1.
Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
2. At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press
ENTER:
esentutl /g Drive:\WinDir\security\database\secedit.sdb
Note In this command, Drive is the hard disk drive where Windows XP
Professional is installed, and WinDir is the folder where Windows XP
Professional is installed.
After the Esentutl.exe tool finishes, use one of the following methods to
resolve the issue, depending on the message that the Esentutl.exe tool
returns: . If the Esentutl.exe tool returns the following message, use
Method 1 to resolve the issue:
This operation may find that this database is corrupt
. If the Esentutl.exe tool returns information that is similar to the
following message, use Method 2 to resolve the issue:

Note When you run the Esentutl.exe tool, your computer is returned to the

or to move files. To start your computer in Safe Mode, press the F8 key
while Windows XP Professional is starting, type 1 to choose Safe Mode from
the startup options, and then press ENTER.

Hello all,

On my local PC (Windows XP SP2), in "Local Security Settings>Local
Policies>User Rights Assignments" I get "Windows cannot read template
information". Any idea what happened and/or how to get this back?
