Vista - unhandled exception

The process does not possess the 'SeSecurityPrivilege' privilege which is required for this operation

I get this error every time I try to apply a new logon screen. I've tried with UAC on and off. I am an administrator on the machine, it is joined to an AD Domain.

by the looks of it it looks like it has something to do with a possible security bug what would happen if you removed the AD domain? will you still be able to access the net? you could try removing it from the domain and try the logon again and see if that helps out any.the way it is stating "System.Security.AccessControl.PrivilegeNotHeldException: The process does not possess the 'SeSecurityPrivilege' privilege which is required for this operation." might be due to a bug in the OS but i could be wrong.

Has logonStudio ever worked with a domain? I don't recall it did in XP

Successfully updated karma reason!

Thanks for the replies. The reason I didn't try it outside a Domain environment is because the XP one specifically said it didn't work in that environment and the Vista one didn't. Anyway... I did just try disjoining the machine from the domain and I still got the same error, unfortunately. Anything else I can try? Any more information I can give?

I believe you have left the domain and /or have logged off that domain. But the system is still being part of it with security settings. Once the domain enviroment has been setup, it is not easyly removed or that is overlooked with another user acct login settings being made for it.

These settings are present in the boot process and can not just be worked around with easily. If at all! This all depends on the domain security and how it was set to begin with. If you are not needing to use this domain and or would like it removed and being able to add the domain at a later point after the boot process has been restored. I would do so by reinstalling the OS in a working manner. Afterwards you could still add the domain and log on to the network and/or domain for your business use's. It is a long and not easy process for doing so. The which I would only do so if it was a personal concern to use the OS without the domain entirely.

I would contact the systems admin for the domain you are using first to see if it would be possible and advised for your preferences.

Actually, I am the domain administrator, and this is a work machine, so reinstalling the OS is not an option. I did fully disjoin it from the domain when I attempted this, not just logged off. So if that's the only option, I guess this won't work for me. Thanks anyway.
