Grant an extended right - Strange issue

Hi

I am faced with a strange issue...any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Issue faced is described as below:

Task is to grant a particular user account (ABCDomain\XYZ Account) with
Allowed to authenticate(A2A) rights on my machine (am Administrator on
my machine) through ADSI code when ran with my credentials.

The issue faced is, strangely enough, as follows:
I am able to browse to my machine in AD using MMC (dsa.msc),
right-click on my machine, Properties --> Security tab and add the User
and grant A2A rights.

Same action when done thru code, (bind to the machine using LDAP with
the same credentials as earlier) and tried adding the A2A rights is
resulting in "GENERAL ACCESS DENIED" error. When used GC:// to bind to
the machine object, same code is throwing "The Server is unwilling to
process" error.

I do not understand how I am successful in doing thru MMC whereas the
code fails me. Does the MMC do things differently under the hood.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Sridhar
