Re: Local Administrator

You have a group of 10 users that occasionaly need to be a local
administrator on a single database server?

If that is correct,

Then create a domain security group and add the 10 users to it.

When they need to be local admins on the datatbase server use cusrmgr.exe to
add the group to the local administrators group on the database server. When
the requirment is done, use cusrmgr.exe to remove the domain group from the
local administrator group. Obviously if you will need to do this often, two
one line batch files will make life easier.

Hello,

I have 10 users who are using a database client which needs local
administrator rights every time there is an update on the database server.

I was thinking on creating a group policy, within an OU, in such a way I
could give local admin rights to users who are member of that group.

Is there a way to set up the AD in such a way that a user can have Local
Administrator Rights for an specific machine?

Thank you very much,

Fernando.
