I don't know what an enhanced accouint is. I'm just trying to give a user
account unlock permission for an OU by making them a member of a security
group in that OU with permission to unloack accounts. How to do the rest of
what your writing about I have no idea how to accomplish. How do I verify
delgation? How do I get DSACLS to run on a specific account? I guess it is
not possbile to make a sub-administrator, nothing I have done or been told
has made any difference. The permissions in the security do not seem to
apply to it's members. Every one will have to full admins unless I can make
this Windows permissions work as desired.
