Error: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

This error message pops up when domain users (even belong to Admin groups) try to open some applications, like the "setup.exe" on the virtual DVD-Rom on my Hyper-V vm.

Turn off the UAC at the Domain Controller AND must restart the DC!

Solution from:

It really saved my day...
