Craig,

 

From my own experiences with this, if you are trying to run this on Vista or
7 you need to run your command prompt as an Administrator. If you don't you
still won't have the privileges you need.

Subject: [Pauldotcom] user permissions needed to run handle.exe

 

Does anyone know what user perms are needed to run the sysinternal tool
handles.exe?  The same permissions also allow you to view handles in
procexp.exe and nirsoft's openedfilesview.exe

while I am using a domain admin, I still get "Error loading driver: access
denied"   googling that error turns up numerous forum saying that I must
have 'Debug Programs" permission.  But even after I add myself (both
explicitly and by administrators group), I still get the error.

Any ideas?

Basically I'm trying to find out what process/user has a certain file locked
preventing SCCM from installing patches.

Thanks.
