Hello Joe,
What folder are you talking about? Looks like you are in computer management and have connected to a domain controller form the member server. On domain controllers the local users and groups are disabled because the domain controller has it's own Security database and is not having the local SAM.
Best regards
Meinolf Weber

Hello Jorge,
Yes I did thanks. I succeccfully added all servers to the domain.
I just had one question left over after soing so.
When I logged in locally on one of the 2003 boxes I wanted to make a
permissions change on a folder an I was asked to enter the domain
credentials
again.
I did so with the domain admin credentials and I saw red arrows next
to the groups and accounts icons
What is that and why was I asked to login again to make this change?
Thanks Joe

Hi Jorge!
Thanks for jumping in. No this is a Standard Box not a SBS.
Never saw a DC promo go like this one. That is why I posted and of
corse
my
short time with using one.
Thanks so much!!

Hello,
I am currently using a workgroup infrastructure with 9 servers and
I am
in
need of changinf it to a AD DC Domain infrastrucrture. However I
am a
little
rusty in some areas. I have 4 Server 2003 Enterprise machines and
4
Server
2008 Standard machines. One Linux but that doesn't matter.
1. When I created the domain I used the same name as the server
and
this
caused the installation wizard to change the NetBIOS name from
WEB308
to
WEB3080 The Original name for this server was
web308.mydomainname.com
and
when I was asked for the FQDN I entered the same thing. This is
what
prompted
the NetBIOS change as it told me to avoid conflict with the DC.
2. Ok so when I rebooted the server and it rebooted as a DC I
could no
longer access the server by the old administrator password as it
was as
so
Administratator
password1
I now had to change the password but not for WEB308 it now was
WEB3080.
What I am struggling with is there are so many names that I am
unsure
which
is the DC and which is just the NetBIOS.
I kinda figured that out as I tried to access old shares that
still had
WEB308 as the label . But when prompted I had to use the new
WEB3080
and
the
new password for access.
Part two:
Now I have always been confused about what SHOULD you use as a DC
FQDN?
I
looked in the DNS of the DC ans now thefull computer name is
web308.web308.mdomainname.com
The domain is specified as web308.mydomainname.com. So when
joining
the
other servers and boxes the name that I should enter is this one
correct?
Now that the AD DC was created successfully I wanted to test the
"joinng
ablility"
with my XP Pro Laptop
I used the network ID method on the myComputer Properties Computer
Name Tab.
Here is where I get lost.
I joined the domain successfully however I joined the domain using
the
administrator and password of the AD DC Server (which I understand
is
correct
for the correct rights to add) and it successfully joined but it
asked
to
add
this user which was me on this XP Pro Laptop. My username and
password
for
this Laptop.
It failed when I said yes.
I rebooted the XP Laptop and then when I went to join the domain
is
paused
and looked for a list of domain controllers. It found WEB3080.
That
confused
me as I thought that the DC was now web308.mydomainname.com
However I logged on as the administrator of the domain controller
and
that
was it.
OK fine.
So the real questions lie in the user part of this. thanks for you
patience.
When I go to add the other servers what do I add them as? Do I
join the domain for the other servers with just the administrator
of the DC?
Or do I create a user for each server and then log them on?
Thanks very much for this wordy question.
Joseph
