Hi ,

I am getting the below error .. any ideas why and how to resolve?

Thanks!!

An error occurred while adding you to the Administrators group. Error Message: The server was unable to process the request due to an internal error. For more information about the error, either turn on IncludeExceptionDetaillnFaults (either from ServiceBehaviorAttribute or from the < serviceDebug> configuration behavior) on the server in order to send the exception information back to the client; or turn on tracing as per the Microsoft.NET Framework SDK documentation and inspect the server trace logs.

This is usually caused by a corrupt users.xml file. Search for it and delete it. It is in different places, depending on the version you have, so you have to search. It will be in a Make Me Admin folder though.
