| Description | Failed to create/open file \system32\config\netlogon.ftl with the following error: Access is denied. Data: 0000: 05 00 00 00 |
| Event Information | According to Microsoft: CAUSE: This problem occurs because the Netlogon.ftl file may not have the proper permissions to open, and therefore the list of trusted domains cannot be displayed. The file may also show that no permissions are set on it at all. RESOLUTION: To resolve this problem, it is necessary to give both the System and the Administrators accounts full control on this file. To grant both accounts full control on this file, locate the %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\Netlogon.ftl file. If the file does not have any permissions set on it, you may have to take ownership of the file to set these permissions. You may also have to log on to the system with administrator privileges to set these permissions if the user account with which are logged on does not have the necessary permissions. To take ownership of this file, click Advanced, and then on the Owner tab, select an administrator account in the Change owner to list, and then click OK.This information from some newsgroups may help you: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This error occurs when the hidden attribute is set on %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\netlogon.ftl. So the resolution is removing this hidden attribute by typing the following command at the command prompt: attrib -h %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\netlogon.ftl |
