Hello All,

I am trying to solve an issue that I think may be related to group policy. I am a desktop support analyst for a company and initially I was given "Domain Admin" privilges to install/configure software and hardware by the head network administrator. But here recently I have noticed that I can't install anything on my machine it says that the "requested operation requires elavation" or when I try to check the group polices editor(start, run gpedit.msc), it tells me that the Access is denied. Now I am running windows vista, but I still should be able to right click, shift and select "run as administrator" but still no go. I have Terminal Services into one of the servers to check my domain account and its not "locked out" and I am still part of the "domain admin" group, but I can't do rudimentary tasks. Is this some sort of cruel vista trick or is the Head Network Administrator restricting permissions because this company is trying to send a message to me. I will resign I can get another job but I need to know. Its frustrating because I even tried copying another network adminstrator's account with a dummy user account(no mailbox) attached ad login with that but still no success. When I asked the Head Network Administrator in person he said oh "I'll look into it" what kind of crap is that?

Anyways this could very well be a group policy restriction, but I would think that if it was then I would be able to do simple things!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
 
it sounds like they removed domain admins from the local administrators group....HUGELY bad juju if so...and yes, likely a restricted groups gpo doing it....
