General access denied error while using import data in SSMS

  • I am using SQL Server Management Studio with the following version information below:

    Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 10.50.4000.0

    Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 3.85.1132

    Microsoft MSXML 2.6 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0

    Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.5512

    Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.3053

    Operating System 5.1.2600

    When i try to use Task->Import Data.. (even before selecting data source) i get error like shown below

    The SQL server engine is 2008 R2 and the user is sysadmin. Also this error is occuring on all instances of SQL (both local and network) instances.

    What i tried so far

    I tried giving full permissions for the user on the SQL server installation folder. But that didn't help.

    I checked the process monitor for process DTSWizard.exe(used for import in sql) has about 160,000 events. Then i searched for "denied" in those. I got a registry entry showing "ACCESS DENIED" .Same is shown below.

    Now i searched for that particular registry. But that registry entry was not there in the PC having problem.

    Then i searched same registry entry in some other PC where there is no error for SQL import data. but in other PC also i didnt get same registry. But in these PC there where no ACCESS DENIED error in process monitor.

    Now by using the process monitor events and access denied registry how can i trace the problem?

    So what might be the reason for this error? If you want any more information please write me.

  • Can anyone help me to troubleshoot the said problem?

  • What if you run the wizard as administrator?
