How to solve the error code 0x80070005: Access denied in Windows Server 2008 R2

Error code 0x80070005 is a common error that occurs in Windows Server 2008 R2 when a user tries to access a file or folder that they do not have permission to access. This error can be caused by a variety of factors, including incorrect permissions, corrupted system files, or malware infections. Here are some steps you can take to solve this error:

  1. Check the permissions: The first step is to check the permissions of the file or folder you are trying to access. Make sure that you have the necessary permissions to access the file or folder. If you do not have the necessary permissions, you will need to contact the administrator of the server to grant you access.
  2. Run a virus scan: Malware infections can cause this error. Run a virus scan on your system to check for any malware infections. If any malware is detected, remove it and then try accessing the file or folder again.
  3. Check the system files: Corrupted system files can also cause this error. Run the System File Checker (SFC) tool to check for any corrupted system files. To run the SFC tool, open the Command Prompt as an administrator and type "sfc /scannow" and press Enter. This will scan your system for any corrupted system files and repair them if necessary.
  4. Disable the antivirus: Sometimes, antivirus software can interfere with the file or folder access. Try disabling the antivirus temporarily and then try accessing the file or folder again.
  5. Check the firewall settings: Firewall settings can also cause this error. Check the firewall settings and make sure that the necessary ports are open for the file or folder access.
  6. heck the user account control settings: User Account Control (UAC) settings can also cause this error. Check the UAC settings and make sure that they are not blocking the file or folder access.

If none of the above steps work, you may need to contact the administrator of the server for further assistance.
