No administrator rights on server 2003 even though part of administrator

group

 

 

 

Hi Guys

 

As there does not appear to be a server 2003 forum I'm posting

here.

 

 

 

I have installed 3 member servers as part of a domain (Two AD domain

controllers). When logging onto these servers with the administrator account

used to logon to the DC's I am unable to perform administrator functions even

though the administrator account has been added to the local administrator

group.

 

 

 

When logging on I cant even right click. We are running Group policy

managment but the admin accounts do not have any profiles attached and do not

appear under any GPolicy managment.

 

 

 

I'm also prevented from installing Sophos, I can install the auto update but

not the anti virus package.

 

 

 

To sum up

 

I've added the domain admins, administrators to the administrators group

under local users and groups on each server

 

I've assinged full permissions for administrators to all files and

directories on each server.

 

I've checked the gpolicy managment to check there are no policies affecting

the account (unlikley as logging on to the DC's allows full control of all

aspects of server managment)

 

 

 

I'm stumped. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

 

 

 

Cheers

 

Andy

Not sure what the problem is with your configuration.

 

But you can create a user account and add it to the Domain Admins group in

AD, then log on to the other servers with the user account. That should

solve the problem.
