I recently downloaded the Windows XP Service Pack 3 Deployment tools which contains the updated version of the System Preparation tool (Sysprep.exe) for Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3. I extracted the files to C:\sysprep and then launched the utility to Reseal my VMware virtual machine. After the computer rebooted I received the following error when attempting to open the Disk Management mmc, “You do not have access rights to logical disk manager”. I was logged in as a Computer Administrator, however I attempted to use another account on the system that was also a Computer Administrator and I received the same error message. This Windows XP virtual machine was not a member of a domain, instead it was a member of a workgroup named WORKGROUP. After renaming the workgroup to WORKGROUP2 I rebooted the computer. I am now able to successfully open the Disk Management mmc.
