First, I didn't see this post in either of the AD groups. Second, I'm not of
your intentions to change the default behavior of your OS, so I'm not sure
what you are trying to accomplish by giving the the TCB privledge? I
understand the default Admin account already has that, but I am not definite
about that. See if this helps:

Clearly your errors are based on prgramming errors. Here's one example of
why you are receiving EventID 32777:

I would highly suggest to first experiment with this on a lab system.
Second, it my benefit you to post this into a more appropriate newsgrouop so
you are able to get more specific help, such as one of the developers
newsgroups (.NET, etc). When you make the post, let them specifically know
your intentions, for they may have a better work around.
