Environment

Security Manager 6.0 SP1
Security Manager 6.0 SP2
Security Manager 6.0 SP3
Security Manager 6.0 SP4

Situation

When attempting to start the NetIQ Security Manager service it fails to start with the error below:
Event ID: 9025 The NetIQ Security Manager service failed to start. Error: Unable to register components: The class is configured to run as a security id different from the caller

Resolution

This is most likely caused by a race condition that can occur in 6.0 and 6.5.  This issue has been resolved in Security Manager 6.5 Service Pack 1. 

 

Cause

A possible race condition on many x64 machines and faster 32 bit servers can cause two actions during the Security Manager agent startup to interfere with permissions.
