Re: How do I give a user admin rights to a NON DC server?

Since it doesn't work with a local admin account, it's probably not
a permission problem per se, but something is only available to the
same Administrator account which was used to install the
application.

Did you put the server in install mode before the installation?
Download Process Monitor (former FileMon and RegMon combined) from
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/p
rocessmonitor.mspx
Run it as administrator on the server (when no user is connected),
start a TS session as a normal user and try to run the application.

Process Monitor will show you all "access denied" errors that
occur, so that you can give your users the necessary permissions on
a file-to file or Registry subkey basis.
You should avoid giving them full Administrator rights, it's hardly
ever necessary.

My client has a Win2k3 non DC server in a SBS Domain. The
Win2k3 server hosts a LOB app that needs to be accessed by one
employee via RDP. The issue is that some of the features of the
app aren't availabe unless you login under a domain admin acct.

I tried giving her a local admin acct but that didn't work.

Any suggestions?

TIA
