I recently loaded SP2 for Windows Server 2003 and upon reboot got the blue screen of death. I eventually had to boot from CD and do a windows repair after a chkdsk & fixboot. The particular server is a stand-alone root level CA. The service is running (my users are able to authenticate) but I am unable to administer the CA MMC. Everytime I start the MMC and click on pending requests, etc. I get the following error: "Access is denied. 0x80070005 (WIN32: 5)." I am logged in as the domain admin that setup the CA. I have checked and the user account is listed as a local administrator on the local server as well. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi I am sorry you have not received an answer to this question so far. I'm afraid I can't figure out what might be wrong either, Sounds like your Service Pack 2 upgrade didn't quite work as expected. I suggest you move your question to the Windows Server 2003 Newsgroups for better response on Windows Server 2003 issues. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/newsgroups/serveros/win2003.mspx Do you have any relationship with your local Microsoft office it could be a good idea too get some help from them as well, if this is a critical server then you should consider creating a support case on this SP2 upgrade.
