Error with MMC taskpad

[imported_JFG]

I created a custom taskpad on my XP workstation to allow a certain group of users the ability to run the task. I can open the taskpad fine on my machine, but when others try to open the MMC they get the error:

Snap-in failed to initialize
Name: {unknown}
CLSID: {###################}

Permissions are OK & None of the Microsoft KB articles provided the solution. Anyone have any ideas?

whats a taskpad?

It's a MMC snap-in you create and give rights to users to perform administrative task

It's possible that the plugin for that snap-in is corrupted... Try the sfc /scannow? Only explanation I can think of because wierd errors can occur like that simply because the file(s) is corrupt.

Oh, and BTW where are you creating this snap-in? I've been actually trying to do something similar and have been unsucessful in doing so (simply because I didn't know about this feature). What MMC application are you running to put in this plugin?

I added in the AD users and computers & tried to give a Jr. Admin rights to reset passwords. The taskpad works on my machine but nowhere else.

Thanks

Well an MMC plugin is a COM object, and if it will load and run on one machine, but not on another, it is almost certainly permissions, configuration (i.e. registration and file in the right place), or missing dependent resources.
