Err Msg: Could Not Get the List of Assigned Applications for This User...

• Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
• Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

Your published or assigned programs may be removed or may no longer function properly, and the following error message may be displayed in Event Viewer:

Event ID: 105
Source: Application Mgmt
Description: Could not get the list of assigned applications for this user. The error was 80040168.

CAUSE

Event ID 105 indicates that there is a problem with your list of assigned and published programs. Frequently, this is the result of a configuration problem with the Active Directory directory service.

There are a number of reasons why this can happen. An example is moving a computer from a domain to a standalone computer. This results in links to published programs no longer working.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, the administrator can use the following methods:

• Determine which programs are published and assigned to you.



• Verify that each program is working properly and that your account and computer are properly configured in the domain.



• Determine when the error messages started in the System Event log, and look for all changes to the domain, computer, and user's profile and settings that can affect the ability to communicate successfully with the Active Directory directory service.
