Re: What kinds of right I need to gain to the local system adminis



Doesn't matter, it is possible for the admins in any domain in a forest to escalate their permissions to enterprise admin if they so desire.

Even in the next rev of Windows Server currently codenamed Longhorn Server the same limitation applies though you can set up a special type of DC called a Read Only DC that you can deploy to a site and allow a local admin to have admin rights of the machine (but not the AD).

Hi Peter

If the DCs are in the same domain, there is currently no way to provide administrator access to a DC without providing Domain Admins privilege.

You will have to wait for the next version of the Windows Server OS.

Our company has been setup with both Headquarter and branch offices with Server 2003 DCs. We like to gain the control to each branch office system administrator to manage their own branch office DC like restart the IIS service etc. What is the best way to do? We don’t want the branch office administrators to have control on the headquarter DC at all.

Thanks
