A domain user cannot add accounts to the administrators group (otherwise,
security would be useless). You'll need to log into a domain controller or a
workstation with the ADUC snap-in, using an account with at least domain
admin credentials. The you will be able to add your own user account to the
domain admins or administrators group.

I'm trying to help the small company I'm working for do a few network
things
while we find a new IT person. We have a Windows 2000 Server DC/AD. The
users all are members of the Domain Users group, with very limited
control.
I'm trying to change some IP setting on some network interfaces, but as a
DU
I can't access the settings.
I thought I could simply go into AD Users and Groups and add my account to
the Administrators Built-In, but after doing so I still do not have the
access I need. It makes me think there is a security principle higher in
the heirarchy that controls this. Is a domain security principle
overriding
the "user level" change I'm making? [i apologize; i'm not trained in this]
thank you,
william
