Grant non-admin account dns rights

[alwayslearnin]

windows server 2003 - member server - holds primary zone - not AD integrated

i would like to grant a user rights to manage dns. is there a way without making the user a local admin on the server?

thanks

In the DNS MMC, expand the tree, choose a DNS server (or connect to one), right-click properties, then security tab. Supply the user with an MMC.

jesse:

the security tab is only available if the DNS server is a domain controller and the zone is active directory integrated.

the server our dns is running on is a member server, and the security tab is not available when i select properties. (view -> advanced is selected)

any other ideas?

thanks,

john

Since I'm not familiar with DNS on a member server I don't know if this suggestion apply:
1. Is there a DNSAdmin Security group in the Users OU in ADUC? Have you attempted to add users into that group?

2. Have you tested adding the user to the local\Power User group on the DNS server.

3. In the local Policy can you give rights to the user?
