Source: IMAService Event ID: 3601 Description: ?Failed to load initial plugins with error IMA_RESULT_ACCESS_DENIED.? Source: Service Control Manager Event ID: 7024 Description: ?The IMA Service terminated with service-specific error 2147483670.? Cause If the user name or password you specified contains a reserved character, the Windows command prompt will not treat the reserved character as plain text. Reserved characters include: & | ( ) < > ^ Resolution When entering a user name or password that contains a reserved character, you have two options: ? Enclose the reserved character with double quotes; for example, Dsmaint /user:m?&?f /pwd:m?^?frame ? Precede the reserved character with a carat (shift+6); for example, Dsmaint /user:m^&f /pwd:m^^frame Note: Because the carat itself is a reserved character, to enter it as part of the user name or password requires that you precede it with another carat or enclose it in double quotes.
