An extended error has occurred. Failed to save Local Policy Database. Aaron Guilmette 08-15-2005

I'm getting this error when attempting to grant a user any rights through
the local security policy. When I open up the Local Security Policy and
navigate to "User Rights Assignment," I can open a policy and add a setting,
but when I click OK, I get this error:

"An extended error has occurred. Failed to save Local Policy Database."

Click through the box, and the name appears in the list, but when you
close/reopen the Local Security Policy, it's gone.

Any ideas? I need an account to be able to log on as a service because it
has to send mail.

Aaron

Sounds like your secedit.sdb may be corrupt. There are a couple of ways that
often will resolve that as per the links below. I would try using esentutl
first for a repair attempt. First check that permissions are correct on the
folder and file itself in \windows\security\database where by default
administrators and system would have full control. --- Steve
