Hi,

I am using Sophos Antivirus when one time it started an auto update. However, the auto update failed and I got this error message, see screenshot below. I have searched the web and saw forum regarding possible solutions to the problem. However, I didn’t know which one was applicable to my problem. I hope someone from this site can help me.

Dear,

Check the rights and permissions of the account. Error code 0x80070005

You have to take permission and rights of your account from the active directory here is a method you can do it:

Open control panel from the start menu and open the link that says"administrative tools" in here you will find a icon that says

"Active directory users and computers" double click on that in the Active Directory Users and Computers window, in the Tree pane, click the Users folder and select the user. Right-click the user and select 'Properties' then you can make changes .this has to be for window server 2003/2008.

Then the next step for domain client is as follows depending on your window type:

Windows NT

At the taskbar, click Start|Programs|Administrative Tools (Common)|User Manager.
In the User Manager window, select the relevant user.
Right-click the user and select 'Properties'.

Windows 2000

At the taskbar, click Start|Settings|Control Panel.
In the Control Panel window, double-click 'Administrative Tools'.
In the Administrative Tools window, double-click 'Computer Management'.
In the Computer Management window, in the left-hand pane, double-click 'Local Users and Groups', then click 'Users'. Select the relevant user.
Right-click the user and select 'Properties'.

Windows XP

At the taskbar, click Start|Control Panel.
In the Control Panel window, click 'User Accounts'. Select the Advanced tab.
In 'Advanced user management' click 'Advanced'.
In 'Local Users and Groups' click 'Users'. Select the relevant user.
