JSI Tip 7562. When you use the 'Run As' to create a global object in a Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP4 terminal server session, you receive 'ERROR_BAD_PATHNAME'?

The subject behavior occurs because of enhanced security features intoduced with SP4.
To work around this behavior, revert to SP3 mode for the session lock down feature:
1. Copy / Paste the following to a ObjectSecurityMode.reg file on your server:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession Manager]
"ObjectSecurityMode"=dword:00000000
2. Merge the ObjectSecurityMode.reg file with your server's registry, or run regedit /s ObjectSecurityMode.reg.
3. Run the Run As feature from the Terminal Server console, instead of from a remote session.
