Re: Giving local Admin rights to AD 2003 Domain Admin users

Hello Manjula,

You talked about replacing an old machine. Then you said it takes automatically the old name? So you did a restore from backup? Or do you install a new machine just with the same name? Please give some more infos about the installation, promotion to DC and the demotion of the old machine.

Best regards

Hi All,

I had to replace a old PC in a small office which runs AD. I replaced
the machine and add the Machine to the AD as member and it used the
old member name automatically. When I logged in to the domain using
this new machine (as a user) and try to add Printers or users to the
machine, to gives a message that I don't have sufficient privileges.
The user is a member to the Admin group in AD and this account has
local admin rights. But when I logged to local machine or logged as
Domain admin to the machine I could add printers.
This may be a config issue and I am not an AD expert and I need some
advice from any one to overcome the issue.
Thanx Guys,

Manjula
