Thank you for your hasty reply.

It is very possible that this is the problem. Just that the account on my
computer that i know for certain to have admin rights on the domain server
(not mine) is listed only as the member of Administrators group, just as my
personal account. Sry i am new to domain based network.

Anyways since it is the holiday season (Merry soon to be Christmas by the
way) my domain admin is unavailable for a week or 2. Therefore I would like
to know if there is any other way for me to authenticate myself to the remote
computer so that i could test my scripts and later just convert the way i
connect to the other machine. I know in a non domain network there was a way
where one had to send a username/password every time? However I do not know
how to implement this. Is this an option also here? Just a little nudge in
the right direction? :)

Best wishes in any case.
