Hi Marco,

I've seen this very error and stack trace before. It happened shortly
after applying Windows 2000 SP4.

You will need to grant the "Impersonat e a Client AfterAuthentica tion"
user right to the appropriate account on your machine. For member
servers, the account is ASPNET. For domain controllers, the account
is IWAM_<machine name>.

Below are some steps you can take to accomplish this:
1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools,
and then click Local Security Policy.
2. Expand Local Policies, and then click User Rights Assignment.
3. In the right pane, double-click Impersonate a client after
authentication.
4. In the Local Security Policy Setting dialog box, click Add.
5. In the Select Users or Group dialog box, click the user account
that you want to add, click Add, and then click OK.
6. Click OK.

You should also reboot the entire computer after doing these steps.
This information is also discussed in greater detail in the following
KB article:

821546 Overview of the "Impersonat e a Client After Authentication"
and the

a Domain

Hope that helps!
