FSRM: “Access is Denied” is logged in Event Viewer


Some customers are reporting that after installing FSRM (File Server Resource Manager) of R2Â on your existing W2k3 R2 machine will generate the error “Access is Denied” from time to time in the Event Viewer. The error looks something like:
EVENT LOG Application
EVENT TYPE Warning
SOURCE SRMSVC
EVENT ID 12317
COMPUTERNAMEÂ Â MHGADAPNT00
TIME 5/1/2006 12:15:45 PM
MESSAGE File Server Resource Manager failed to enumerate share paths or DFS
paths. Mappings from local file paths to share and DFS paths may be
incomplete or temporarily unavailable. FSRM will retry the operation at a
later time.
Error-specific details:
Error: (0x80070005) Access is denied.
Error: (0x80070005) Access is denied.Â
This is a known issue and Microsoft is working on a fix. The cause is still unknown yet. To get updated information about it, please leave a comment and I’ll get back to you when new information is available.
UPDATE:- There has been an update posted HERE– this post explores a work around- There is no KB article yet but now that the FSRM team has been alerted to the issue it shouldnt be too far away.

Same here – it’s spamming my event log every hour.

Please update me also, any news on this yet?? It’s been a while since this issue was first reported and Microsoft still didn’t solve it!

I have a case open with Microsoft regarding this issue … currently there is no other solution then setting “HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SrmSvc\Settings\DisableSearchDfs†to 1.

Thanks in advance.

We are having this issue as well. Thanks!
August 2nd, 2006 at 4:50 pm
I’d like the fix too when it comes in…
August 8th, 2006 at 9:16 am
This solved our problem:
On the PDC emulator add “authenticated users” to “users” (net localgroup users “authenticated users” /add).
On the file server stop and restart the FSRM services (net stop srmreports, net stop srmsvc, net start srmsvc, net start srmreports).
Best regards,

Me too please

Same issue here.
Markus, how did you realize that you needed to add Authenticated Users to Users ?
It sounds strange to me…
August 23rd, 2006 at 6:15 am
It was the resultof another case with Microsoct concerning the same issue. How the group “users” was removed from “authenticated users” is still not clear – MIcrosoft has the opinion that this must have happened intentionally.
August 28th, 2006 at 8:18 am
please inform me also…hard to find a solution in this…
August 30th, 2006 at 3:51 am
Would like notification of the fix please.
September 5th, 2006 at 3:40 am
Hi! Could someone please try the solution mentioned above and tell me if it works?
(On the PDC emulator add “authenticated users†to “users†(net localgroup users “authenticated users†/add).
On the file server stop and restart the FSRM services (net stop srmreports, net stop srmsvc, net start srmsvc, net start srmreports).)
Thank you!
September 8th, 2006 at 3:42 am
please inform me also…
September 13th, 2006 at 11:56 am
Would also love to know the fix.

I’ve get this error after adding an W2K3 R2 server to an existing W2K3 domain. The schema in the existing domain was updated using the command “AdPrep /forestprep” (with the R2 version AdPrep) before adding the new server.
I don’t want to use the reg fix proposed here as there’s not details of what effects or side effects it will have.
Please notify me when a hotfix or KB article is released.

We are seeing this on the lone W2K3 R2 server we have–it’s on an NT4 domain (actually SBS 4.0a)
September 25th, 2006 at 7:23 am
I can confirm that the proposed workaround (add the Authenticated Users do the Users group in the PDC emulator) works.

Hi folks,
please also take me in information flow. At my site it seems to be, that this error maybe produced whenever the search is going to a netbios (DFS) name.
Best regards
