ahoy peeps...
i've some strange/disturbing problem...
i'm running XPpro (US ver.) and i can setup accounts through the USERS GUI in the settings/control panel, and through there also i can set them from admin <-> user rights.....and here is where the problem starts...
i need to set my wife to "main-/master-/power-user", since the plain "limited user" hast trouble with some advanced games, but i dont want to give her ADMIN status, which would open the barn-gates for all sorts of viruses/trojans/spyware/hoaxes.
now...i CAN NOT access the tab MEMBER OF in the USERS & GROUPS submenu in the MMC by ANY account, no matter if admin or guest or any other account.
it tells me then "workstation service has not been startet" (???)
when i check the services MMC and the COM/COM+ MMC it all looks fine (beside there is no 'workstation service' per sey) and only thing that looked related to it was the "Security accounts manager", which is on AUTOMATIC startup and running.....as i check the dependencies of it.....they point to the services "RPC" and the "distributed transaction coordinator"...the "RPC" runs (automatic) but the "distributed transaction coordinator" does not (is on manual) when i start it (which does) it pops up with a message like "is currently not required due dependencies only to certain events like the performance monitor" (something like that) and quits the service again.
anyone a clue/tip/trick how to access the MEMBER OF tab in the USERS-MMC ? or where i find this darn "workstation service" ?
addendum: different users login+PW's via XP startup runs fine BTW
cheers

PS: the M$ knowledge DB doesnt have an error like that *amazed* i tried it there already
