    Which error have you seen? Are you trying to connect from a remote console or locally?

    Below mentioned error was appearing when trying to connecting sccm console

    The ConfigMgr console could not connect to the ConfigMgr site database. Verify that this computer has network connectivity to the SMS Provider computer and that your user account has Remote Activation permissions on both the ConfigMgr site server and SMS Provider computers. For more information, see "How to Configure DCOM Permissions for Configuration Manager Console Connections" in ConfigMgr Help.

    Hi,

    You are running it locally on the SCCM Server? Are you using the same account that you used to install SCCM 2007? That account will automtically have permissions in SCCM.

    regards,

    Ok, then as Jorgen said are you using the ConfigMgr admin user account or another one? Also, you can check admui.log and smsprov.log
