Server 2008 Administrator permissions

[Guest Brock Hensley]

Hello,

 

On a Windows Server 2008 DataCenter edition box, we've made a new user

called ServerAdmin and put it in the Administrators Group. Now, the original

Administrator account works fine, but the ServerAdmin account has issues. If

you right click on My Computer and try to go to Manage, it says permission

denied. If you simply try to open the C drive, it says permission denied.

Yet, I can go into the properties of the C drive and change them, after

assigning ownership to the Administrators group. But even after changing the

ownership (and yes Administrators group has full control on the drive) I get

the permission denied error when trying to access the drive.

 

Since the original Admin account seems fine, it must be require something

other than simply assigning users to the administrators group and having

them act the same or what?

 

 

Any help is appreciated!

I was able to get around the errors by disabling the security option "User

Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode".

 

But why am I getting actual Errors and Permissions warnings, it is supposed

to prompt me to "Continue".. something still doesn't seem right.
