"This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator"

They are related. It's a nasty piece of malware/virus that disable many admin functions to protect itself. I recently fixed a computer that had this and had to reinstall the OS, it's nasty! Try doing a full system scan in Safe Mode with your anti-virus program. Failing that try doing a System Restore to a date before the issue showed up.

Sounds a bit like Group Policy and Security Policy restrictions.

Is the server part of a domain? If so, go to a domain controller, and look at the policies affecting the OU's that it's in.
If not, then go to the computer and go to C:\windows\system32, and open gpedit.msc, and secpol.msc. You can find a whole bunch of settings in there, where you shuold be able to enable those things again.
