Hi Miller,
Thanks for posting here.
From your post, my understanding of this issue is: when you try to open
WINC MMC, you got the following error:
Either a required impersonation level was not provided, or the provided
impersonation level is invalid.
If this is not correct, please feel free to let me know.
Based on my experience, if the problematic server is a Win2003, you may
look at the Local Security Policy on the problematic server (and the
default domain controller policy on the DC):
If the "Impersonate a client after authentication" User Right
(SeImpersonatePrivilege) was blank, the issue will occur. For more
information, please see:
Overview of the "Impersonate a Client After Authentication" and the "Create
Global Objects" Security Settings
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/821546
Please added the "administrators" group and rebooted the server. Also, the
SERVICE account must have this user right.
Hope this helps.
Have a nice day!
Sincerely,
Tom Che
