I had an old virtual machine left from the service pack 2 beta testing.
Windows 2003 EE SP2-build2825 R2.
It was a domain member, I used to auto-login to it via cached credentials,
because I had deleted the domain controller's virtual machine image
(don't be surprised it's all for testing ;-)

Anyway...
[first change configuration]
1 :: Terminal Services Configuration\Connections\RDP-Tcp
..\Remote Control: Use remote controll with the following settings: does not
require user permition; interact with session.
2 :: gpedit.msc
Local Computer Policy\Computer Configuration\Administrative
Templates\Windows Components\Terminal Services
..\Sets rules for remote control of Terminal=Enabled, Full control without
user's permition


Now using the local Administrator account I loged on to console (virtual
machine's local console, and not the terminal /console). Then a second login
to session 1 on remote desktop and from that session run:
shadow 0
shows the same error as you have.



....Next I disjoined the no longer existing domain and after the restart
shadow 0 worked fine.


Because you are in a domain I had to create a domain to test it... I cloned
the same virtual machine and then used sysprep.exe to change the security
intentifiers and chose a unique name for it. I then assigned the cloning as
a domain controller and joined the original to it.

Now using the domain Administrator account I loged on to console (virtual
machine's local console, and not the terminal /console). Then a second login
to session 1 on remote desktop and from that session run:
shadow 0

Works fine both for the domain controller and the member server.
Ops I forgot to test this with the built-in accout ;-) but I had no problems
with the domain Administrator.


And so, if it is not a problem, try to disjoin and then rejoin the member
server to the domain.


Good luck!
