Hi Edward,
note: if I refer to administrator I am referring to
testcompany.local\administrator.
I have tried testcompany\administrator without the local but I get the same
error. I don't know whether the domain administrator is a member of the power
users of the local machine but it will be a member of the local
administrators therefore having more rights than the power users. One thing I
am not sure about is the sql stuff. I am not up on it. I have installed it
and then applied service pack 3. I have checked that administrator is a
member of setup group in sql and then I decided to add administrator to every
group in sql to make sure I would have all the rights. I feel that I have the
correct rights. can I check this someway on sql.
after checking on the net I can see lots of people in the same position as
me why is this so common?
regards
Russ
