Sai,

SAP - I meant SMS (I have SAP on the brain from another project) and yes the
users are all members of the local SMSAdmin goup on the Site Server.

1) I tried to run wbemtest on this system as various users that normally
have access to SMS but I am getting an "access denied"
2) I removed this machine from the domain, resid'ed it and readded it - no
change in the results
3) I checked the adminui.log and the message is exacltly the same as before:
        [898][Mon 11/01/2004 15:57:54]:Error(ConnectServer): Possible UI
connection error code is -2147024891 [0x80070005]

This makes very little sense - I have installed the Admin Console on other
machines and all works with no problem.

Thanks for any additional ideas you or others may come up with

Karl
