Insufficient access rights to perform the operation - Enable Recycle Bin - Active Directory

-

In this post, I describe how to fix the error:

Insufficient access rights to perform the operation

Screenshot of error "Insufficient access rights to perform the operation"

This error can occur when you try to enable the recycle bin in Active Directory.

Cause

In my case, this error occurred because I was logged on as the Administrator of a child domain.  By default, the Administrator of a child domain is a member of Domain Admins but not a member of Enterprise Admins.

Resolution

To resolve the issue, I logged on to the parent domain and added the child domain Administrator to the Members of the Enterprise Admins group.

After logging off and logging back on again to apply the group memebership, I successfully enabled the recycle bin in Active Directory.

This post describes how to fix the error "This app will now restart to free up more memory" which can occur when using apps such as Netflix on an LG TV after just a few minutes of use. Resolution To resolve the issue, unplug the TV then press the on/off button for 10 seconds.  Wait a further 20 seconds then plug the TV back in and turn it back on. Apps should now run without the error. Edit: The on/off button on my LG TV is directly under the standby light on the bottom of the TV. Edit: I didn't have to do this myself but one person who has left a comment said that clearing all browsing data worked for them.  I have written a post explaining how to do this: LG TV Clear All Browsing History Data .
