Rights to run Server Manager from client?


Recommended Posts

When we ran a Windows 2000 domain, I could appoint a certain number of

selected staff members as "Server Operators". This enabled them to use

Server Manager to disconnect sessions for students who had not logged

off properly.

 

Since we moved to Windows 2003-R2 (SP2) such a staff member can open

Server Manager and when he/she clicks on a Domain Controller, he/she

can control sessions. However when clicking on a Member Server, the

message "Access is denied" is displayed

 

As administrator equivalent I can get into both DC and Member server.

It just affects "Server Operators". Client computers are Windows XP

SP2. The server manager executable is V5.2.3790.1127. In all cases,

SVRMGR.EXE is kicked off from the server share, not workstation (ie. \

\server02\reskit\srvmgr.exe)

 

Is there some sort of security setting that I need to check on the

Member server?

 

Thanks

add your staff members to Power Users group on the servers you want them to

manage...
