SYMPTOMS
While working with the Security Configuration Editor MMC snap-in, you might experience several problems with the user interface and handling:


 * You cannot look at service security in the results of a system analysis twice. The Service Security button is not calling the dialog box anymore.
 * When you have modified the security of a service, it is shown as modified only the first time after analysis is run. If you look at a different service and then look at the modified service again, Exclude from future configurations and analyses is selected as if you did not change it.
 * After modifying a template, when you exit the Microsoft Management Console, you are prompted to save modifications to the current console, and also to the modified template. If you answer "Yes" to both questions (thus saving the modified template) and then rerun Microsoft Management Console and edit the template, the changes are lost. You have to save the template explicitly before exiting Microsoft Management Console.



CAUSE
The snap-in is not setting internal status flags consistently.
