Hi all.Can anyone help with this? I have an administrators account on our NT Server which i set up without any restrictions whatsoever but when i log on to the network using this account from my NT workstation and attempt to install printers or software on my workstation it says i need to be an administrator in order to continue.I can however install anything on any other machine using this account without problems.What can be wrong with my workstations installation?
Thanks Stevie_boy


 
I'm set up as both.There is another administrator account set up as both and when i log on to my workstation using this account i do not have the problems i mentioned above.Most odd...

Ensure that the Domain Admin group is a member of the local workstation's "Administrators" group.

Then login to the Domain from the workstation using your Domain credentials. You Domain Administrator statis will then be recognised by the workstation as a member of it's own Administartors group and give you the permissions you need.
