Error c0070005?

Ok this is really off-topic but i couldnt resist myself putting it up here. Ill describe it short.

Unable to open Event viewer and Exchange system manager, Active Directory Snap-ins
Access is denied.
Facility: Win32
ID no: c0070005
Exchange System Manager

Dont ask me why someone would add the Administrator or Domain Admin accounts in the security group "Guests and Domain Guests"
But if they are inthere you cant open the Event Viewer, Exchange System Manager or Active Directory Snap-ins.
Removing the accounts and logging of and on solves it. There is no KB article of this and i do hope you never will experience this, because it consumes time!

Doesnt this apply to you but you have the same error code, this link might be good for you:

  Can you list the step you took to fix this problem?  I'm an idiot and got myself into the mess you describe, but don't know how to remove the "guest" and "domain guest" memberships from the Administrator account because the MMC console crashes every time I select properties.
  
  Thanks!

  Hi, have you tried opening and using active directory and users console? You can double click the groups and then remove them. You wouldnt need to right click at all that way. Hope this helps
  Thanks!

  This helped to solve my problem. Thank you.
  
  To fix it you need another pc / server where the adminpak is installed.

  Adam, I would suggest in following my steps and see if you have those accounts in the wrong groups. If this is not the case, click the link and see if that would provide you with a solution. Good luck!

  This error was caused by my account indirectly being placed in the Guests group. Someone put Domain users in the guests group. This paralyzed just about everyone. The only way to fix it was to go into DOS and use the DSMOD Group command: dsmod group "CN=Guests,CN=Builtin,DC=YourDomainhere,DC=COM" -rmmbr "CN=Domain Users,CN=Users,DC=YouDomainHere,DC=COM"

  Re-run Exchange 2003 SP2, then KB912442 and then KB924334.  This will give you your permissions back according to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323915.  If you do not do this and just give the permissions through registry, they will be overwritten within minutes.

  Thanks you saved my life !!!! Another way to remove the user admin from these 2 group is :

• use ADSI EDIT
• connect to domain
• navigate to the group Domain Guests (then Guests)
• right click and on properties go to members
• select the administrator account and remove
• same for Guests
• log off and on

  Dear Adam,          The problem u mentioned i also faced it & solve it. This is due to change Group membership of Adminsitrator account. --> open loacal domain policy --> deny log on locally check the group mentioned there one group of them is a one administrator is member of that. when that group e.g "Remote Desktop Operator" is deneied to log on locally the Administrator is also failed to log on locally but can access through remote. Sol (1) Remove all group that are mentioned in "deny log on locally" in default Domain policy. log og & then relog in Sol (2) Check which group is member of Administrator by open Active Directory Users & Computers--> Administrator --> Right click --> members of --> remove all group that are mentioned in deny log on locally. Try it then feed back

  Zahid, I have heard of cases that got solved when you change the Administrator password back to what it previously was. Give that a try....
