did you try to reinstall the component?
if that's not working you can transform the policy into a GPO and apply it
to the server.
to do that run the scwcmd

Yes. Uninstalled, reinstalled. same thing. Removed Virusscan, rebooted and
tried again, same thing. Used Process Monitor from Sysinternals and didn't
see anything obvious. I can navigate to the directory and edit the files in
question, so it's not a file Access denied message.

I'll have to look into setting it up as a GPO.

Thanks.
