Fixing Access Denied Error 0x80070005 on Windows Server 2008 R2

Address error code 0x80070005 in Windows Server 2008 R2 effectively with the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Verify permissions: Ensure you have the correct permissions for the file or folder you are trying to access. If not, request the necessary permissions from the server administrator.
2. Conduct a malware scan: Perform a comprehensive virus scan to eliminate any potential malware that could be causing access issues. Remove any detected malware and attempt access again.
3. Run System File Checker (SFC): Corrupted system files can lead to this error. Open Command Prompt as administrator, execute 'sfc /scannow' to scan and repair corrupted files.
4. Temporarily disable antivirus software: Antivirus programs can sometimes prevent file or folder access. Disable your antivirus temporarily to see if access is restored.
5. Adjust firewall settings: Incorrect firewall settings may block access to certain files or folders. Review and modify firewall settings to ensure necessary access is not restricted.
6. Modify User Account Control (UAC) settings: Check if UAC settings are blocking access to the file or folder. Adjust these settings appropriately to facilitate access.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, further assistance from the server administrator may be necessary to address underlying permission or system settings.
