I get an error when I try to create users and groups (Windows 2003 Server)

[erick30]

Hi,

I installed Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition, and now I am trying to define some users to work in local, but I can’ t create any user or group because when I open the management tool, in the tree I see the option ‘Users and groups’ with an error simbol and when I click on it says: ‘Is not possible the access to machine COMUN-52OSDR. Error: Error when loading the library of type/DLL’. What may happen? When I installed Windows 2003 I got an error that said ‘ACXtrnal.dll’ couldn’ t be installed. This ‘.dll’ file can be the cause of the error? Or it’ s another issue?

Thanks

Somebody knows what happen when this kind of error appears?:
'Error when loading the library of type/DLL’
And how can be solved in a normal scenario?

Actually, that is exactly it.

This should be easily remedied -- Open a run dialog (START>RUN).
type 'cmd'

This will start a DOS Prompt Console.

Type 'sfc /scannow'

That stands for 'system file checker' and it is installed as a part of Windows versions 2000 and after.

If you get the error "You must be an administrator running a console session in order to use the Windows File Checker utility." -- You'll have to reboot and get the Windows 'F8' menu up (by repeatedly pressing F8 just after the memory testing and hd detection screen fades). Select 'Command Prompt...' from the list and enter that same command above.

Have your install disc handy, sfc will ask for it.

Hope this is helpful.

Hi, :)

This is a good tool, and I tried it, anyway I have the installation CD damaged and I can' t repair Windows in this way.
Do you know another alternative to solve/repair the error I have?


When I start the computer some errors appears in the event log file:

Application: Event Id = 1003. Description: The TracFileName parameter is not located in the registry; the file of predetermined pursuit used is .

Application: Event Id = 1015. Description: The TraceLevel parameter is not located in the Registry; the file of predetermined pursuit used is 32.

System: Event Id = 1041. Description: Service DHCP is not giving service to any client because none of the interfaces of active network has IP addresses formed statically, or there is not active interfaces.

Thank you!

I already solved those errors and my initial problem is still here:

In Computer Management, in 'Users and local groups' section I get the error: 'Error loading type library / dll'. And I can' t do any operation in this section management.

Well, in cases like these I would attempt to replace the missing files and registry entires -- If I was unable to I would reload the OS.

I will do more research into it, perhaps this is a common problem and the answer is out there.
