Please log in for more thread options Roger,
Thanks for the reply.
I was never able to edit the limits on the server and Microsoft suggested I
reset the servers security settings with 'secedit'.
See article 313222 for how to do this:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;313222
I cringed at the thought but was willing to give it a try. However, before I
reset the security I thought that perhaps the domain security settings were
to blame. I logged on to the domain controller as the domain administrator
and ran 'dcomcnfg' from there. Under component services I added the problem
server as a new server to manage and was able to set all of the com security
settings remotely as 'edit limits' was no longer disabled. That resolved my
problem.
I don't know if resetting the security would have worked and Microsoft never
told me specifically what would cause the 'edit limits' option to be
disabled on the non-domain controller server.
Thanks again for replying, I'll save those registry keys for a reference if
there's another problem.
