Microsoft Management Console Administrative Task Menu May Be Unavailable (249845)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Office 2000 Server Extensions
- FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions from Microsoft
This article was previously published under Q249845 SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to administer a FrontPage 2000 Server by using the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), the option to administer FrontPage may be unavailable (dimmed).
CAUSE
When FrontPage attempts to validate the administrating user, it makes a request to the operating system for the total number of groups that the administrating user belongs to. The buffer, which is used to hold this information, is of a fixed size. Therefore, if the administrating user belongs to too many groups, the authentication of the user may fail.
