BACKGROUND:
We have a sister company in Knoxville (connected to us via a WAN link) who
uses our domain. We located a DC there and they have a couple of other file
and printer sharing machines too. I created them an OU for their site and
added their users, computers, DC, and servers to this OU. This all works
like a champ.

PROBLEM:
  I need to allow their onsite admin to be able to administrator their OU.
They need to be able to login to the DC and do things and to perform basic
administrator functions for their site. I added this user to the Delegate
Control function for their OU but it does not seem to allow them to login to
the DC. Is there something special that I must do to permit this? The DC
is also used for some minor file sharing. In the past this admin was just
granted Domain Administrator rights but I am trying to reduce their
privileges to only allow them to administrator their own OU.

Thanks,
Fred
