Error ' MMC MAY NOT CREATE THE SNAP-IN ' in the local security policy (secpol.msc)

I just bought a new laptop with 64-bit Windows 8.

Wanted to do some desirable changes in (secpol.msc) local security policy window.

Managed to launch the local security policy interface but it displays the following error "MMC could not create the snap."

Due to the mistake, I am unable to navigate security settings and make the desired changes.

Help, please. Need an urgent solution to this problem.

Thanks & best regards,

  • Error message - "Could not create the security default policy"

    I just reinstalled Acrobat X on a new computer (upgrade to Acrobat 8).  Now, when I open a file in Acrobat X, I get a message error that says "could not create the default security policy."   How can I fix? Pourrait

    Hi dawlaw,

    There is a bug in Adobe software. Acrobat X pro and standard both install properly if any other Adobe product was already installed, but both disrupts the installation (do not create the AppData\Security subdirectories) if another product from Adobe that has not created AppData\Security directories has been installed first. Adobe has only been tested installation on machines that never had other Adobe products installed. They do not consider that other Adobe products can already installed.

    (Alternative 1 (safer) - (a) uninstall all Adobe control panel products, b) then delete (or rename) the directories \AppData\Local\Adobe and \AppData\LocalLow\Adobe \AppData\Roaming\Adobe - Adobe never cleans these directories after uninstall. (c) make an own Acrobat x pro or standard installation before you reinstall any other Adobe product.

    Solution 2 - copy \AppData\Local\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\Security and \AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\Security from another machine that works.

    Kind regards

  • MMC could not create the snap-in when you run the Scheduler of tasks or event viewer

    Event Viewer and Task Scheduler are not running.

    Error returned is: mmc could not create the snap

    Someone knows how to solve this problem, I searched and tried everything I can find and it still doesn't work.

    can someone tell me the conditions required for the event viewer for work so I can check?

    I managed to solve this problem in this way on my Windows Server 2008 SP2:

    1. navigate to the following directory:

    For x 64:

    C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\CONFIG

    For x 86:

    C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG

    2 backup 'machine.config' file from somewhere, just in case before you continue.

    3 Rename the machine.config file to machine.config.old in the directory above.

    Fixed a problem!

  • MMC could not create the snap.

    Whenever I am trying to change some local security policies I get this message, "MMC could not create the snap" and I can't navigate any further. How can I fix?

    Hello

    ·        Since when are you facing this problem?

    ·        Remember to make changes to the system?

    ·        What is the exact error that you are experiencing?

    I suggest you to check in the event viewer for error logs and let us know the error. Follow the steps mentioned in the article below.

    Open event viewer

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/open-Event-Viewer

    For the snap to work properly on the system, you should have the .net framework is installed correctly on the system. Check in the installed updates, what version of the .net framework is installed on the system and whether it is installed correctly.

    See the Windows updates are installed

  • Where is the "local security policy"? Locking password.

    Hi all

    This was the case when I used XP I could the action of what happens when you enter the password to logon incorrectly a number of times.

    The local security policy (LSP), took place in Control Panel under administrative tools.  When I look upward, "what are administrative tools" in the "help and support", Win8 the FSA is mentioned, but in reality he resides in all administrative tools.

    Thus,.

    . The removed LSP Control Panel on purpose; He lives somewhere else?

    . The computer hangs if I get the password too often?

    . If so, how many times.

    . Can I change the number of times?

    (Please give back me my local security policy.)

    Hello

    Gpedit.msc is not available in Windows 7 Home premium.

    It is available in the Enterprise and Ultimate editions of Windows 7 Enterprise.

    If you want to disable caching of thumbnails, you can access the registry editor and go to changing the location according to the value

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\DisableThumbnailCache

    Set it to 1 to disable the cache

    To do: Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.
