Author Unexpected error editing User Roles in Site Manager

Hi, hope someone is able to help with this.

We have a MCMS2002 SP2 setup with 2 authoring servers and 2 readonly servers
all using the same MCMS database.

There appears to be a problem with Site Manager on one of the authoring
servers. If I go to any User Rights group and attempt to view the "group
members" tab I get "an unexpected error has occured" "Automation Error The
object invoked has disconnected from its clients". The "kill lock" option on
the rights group then becomes available, even though I have closed the
property page for the rights group. Killing the lock makes no difference to
this behaviour: the problem recurs.

Using Site Manager from another server - even directing that other server to
the Site Manager on the problem machine - all behaviour is normal.

I have seen this problem previously, on one other server in my dev
environment and was unable to resolve it even by repairing then resintalling
CMS.

Any suggestions most welcome. Thanks

Stefan, thanks for this. I don't know how I missed this FAQ on my original
investigation. The resolution is not 100% as documented though. Adding
NRClient.exe (AKA Microsoft CMS Launcher) to the exceptions list does **not**
work.

However selecting the "Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and
services only" option does work. I'm rebooting after every change, and I've
done a hard disk search to ensure there aren't any stray instances of
NRclient installed anywhere else.

I will investigate if there are any policies in the environment which are
overriding my setting of the exceptions list, because from a security POV its
probably not acceptable to have DEP turned down to its minimum setting....

thanks
