Please log in for more thread options If you mean that the user is logging onto the domain instead of local
computer you will need to add the user's "domain" account to the local
administrators group on the member server. It would not matter what password
is used as it is group membership that determines who is a local
administrator. You can use the command net localgroup administrators to see
what users/groups are in the local administrators group. If you change a
user's group membership make sure that the user logs of and logs on again to
update his security token with the change in group membership. Also if there
are DNS problems in the domain you will experience unexpected results when
domain users logon to member servers. The support tools dcdiag [domain
controllers only] and netdiag can help troubleshoot such along with checking
the logs via Event Viewer for errors/warnings such as userenv that can
indicate problems finding or contacting a domain controller. --- Steve
