Re: administrator logon on windows 2003 server

 

Hi Meinolf,

 

I was actually sat in front of the server and unable to log on using the

correct admin credentials, that said I have resolved the issue by installing

the adminpak.msi on a different PC on the network and found that some kind

soul had added a user (who had admin rights) into the power users group - the

user should never have has admin rights in the first place but just goes to

show how easy it is for things to go wrong if one of the It bods makes a

silly slip.

 

Many thanks for your prompt response!

Re: administrator logon on windows 2003 server

 

disgruntled IT worker left and now we can't log on to the domain controllers

locally or remotely. I installed the admin tools on a pc and ran the

dsa.msc. I used article ID 273720 rev 3.2 and I'm still locked out. I'm

trying to locate the other person who set up this domain in hopes that they

have the administrator ID and password for the AD on the domain controller.

any advice?
