So I walked through all proposed solutions, except for TobiasK's recommendation as I couldn't find an old 2003 toolkit with the NTrights.exe program to try the SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege command and I'm not willing to spend another day doing development work for Symantec.
Bottom Line - This shouldn't be this hard. I manage 2 small sites with around 100 clients each, and am the only IT staff supporting all users. I don't have DAYS to try to fix applications that break after a simple version upgrade.
My solution, I blew away the install and will rebuild based on my other site server on the previous version. I didn't want to, but I can't afford to waste time on "beta" software.
Symantec - If there are this many threads all for the same error message, please either code your error codes more specifically, or ask for a Symhelp.exe export of the relivant information so the software can be patched for the fix. Looking at these posts as referances, they ALL have different solutions for the same error code.
SAME EXACT ERROR IN LOG FILES AS MINE.
