I am troubleshooting a problem related to the installation of Update Rollup 2 for the FIM Service and Portal (the Synchronization Service update went fine).
When I try to change the Service and Portal configuration through Add/Remove Programs by right-clicking and selecting "Change", I get a message that says "Administrator privileges are required to run installer.". The thing is, Iam a local administrator of the server (as well as domain administrator). The same message appears when I try to change the FIM Synchronization Service.
This is only happening for the two Forefront applications. Other applications respond as expected.
Has anyone seen this before? This seems extremely unusual to me. Is the message perhaps referring to Administrative privileges elsewhere, beside the OS?
