PunkBuster Client: Removing 'HuNtEr' 76b3 (0 minutes) RESTRICTION: Service Communication Failure: PnkBstrA.exe

SOLUTION:
Some users have previously disabled the PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBsrtB.exe services in the past, and these services are now mandatory. If the services are stopped/disabled, then PB will kick from this point forward.

Sometimes it is an anti-virus program (like an old version of McAfee Security Center), sometimes it is a personal firewall that are blocking the services. Any user who is getting kicked for this will have to stop whatever is blocking PB or configure the program to allow the two services.

The below link is a tool provided by PunkBuster that will help users who need to reinstall the services:

http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe

If the above PBSVC program does not pass all the tests, please ensure that any installed firewalls or other programs are not blocking the PnkBstrA/B services.

PROBLEM:
Image
etplayer PunkBuster kicked player etplayer (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Empty CD KEY Not Allowed on this Server
PunkBuster Client: Removing etplayer e58f (0 minutes) RESTRICTION: Empty CD KEY Not Allowed on this Server

SOLUTION:
Players who are getting "Empty CDKey" messages trying to connect to PunkBuster ET Servers may attempt a manual CDKey registration.

Press the tilde key (the ~ key) to bring down the game console from any game screen and enter the following command (without quotes): "/pb_cdkeyreg".

You should see a message stating that a Registration Request was sent to the GuidAuth Master Server. After a few seconds (perhaps up to 30 seconds) you should see a message stating that the CDKey Registration was successful. After that, there should be no more messages about an Empty CDKey when trying to join a PB Server.

PROBLEM:

etplayer PunkBuster kicked player etplayer (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Inadequate O/S Privileges
PunkBuster Client: Removing etplayer b06c (0 minutes) RESTRICTION: Inadequate O/S Privileges

SOLUTION:
If you are running Windows Vista or 7 and your game disconnects from Punkbuster enabled servers with above
PB kick error:

This means you must start TCE as Administrator. There are two ways to do this.

1. Right click on the icon and select “Run as Administrator”

2. Right click on the icon and select “Properties”. Select the “Compatibility” tab and check the “Run this program as an administrator” check box. Now you can click the icon normally.

If it is still not working or you use earlier windows version use this tutorial:

One of most common kicks. Two possibilities to fix:
-at OPTIONS > SYSTEM > tab Networking/Connection on the bottom set to LAN/CABLE/xDSL
-it will look like this http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/3488/20a24e39bde6d3d43290df5.jpg

PunkBuster Client: Removing etplayer 69ae (1 minute) Cvar r_uifullscreen = 1

SOLUTION:
Two ways to fix:

One way or another after this kick and setting your game to be fullscreened you must quit the game and run it once more or after you conect to server you will be kicked witk inalid pk3 files.
