Problems running the security configuration wizard on an Exchange 2003 server
I'm trying to run the SCW on an Exchange 2003 server but when I try to apply the policy I'm getting an "cannot apply security policy" message. Does anyone know what the problem might be for this? In the SCW logs there are a couple of access is denied messages: 06/09/2010 11:46:49 0 Configuration start 06/09/2010 11:46:50 0x80070005 Error configuring C:\ WINDOWS\security\msscw\ConfigureFiles\Services.inf Access is denied. 06/09/2010 11:46:50 0 Configuration done 06/09/2010 11:46:50 0x80070005 Cannot complete extension processing: Microsoft.OS.Services Access is denied.

Hi, After disabling your Anti Virus or FireWall your problem will be resolved. Regards. Shafaquat Ali.M.C.I.T.P Exchange 2007/2010, M.C.I.T.P Windows Server 2008, M.C.T.S OCS Server 2007 R2, URL: http://blog.WhatDoUC.net Phone: +923008210320

Disabling the AV software sorted this for me. Many Thanks.
