CAUSE

This problem occurs because the value of the EnableLUA registry entry that controls the User Account Control (UAC) setting is changed. The UAC feature is not available in Windows Server 2008 Server Core. Therefore, the EnableLUA registry entry is not expected to cause any UAC related behavior in Windows Server 2008 Server Core. However, if the value of the EnableLUA registry entry is changed, you frequently encounter problems when you run commands at the Command Prompt window. Depending on the command that you run, you receive the "Access is denied" error message or other related error messages. This is not the expected behavior.

The value the EnableLUA registry entry is possibly changed in one of the following situations:
  • You manually change the value.
  • The value is changed by Group Policy objects.
