You need to look at MSDN library.

The thing to keep in mind that being an adminitrator isn't an either or thing
for the whole network. It goes machine by machine. For instance being a domain
admin only means for sure that you have admin rights on the DCs of that domain.
Doesn't say anything for the other domains in the same forest in others or any
member machines.
