Hi folks,

We have an IIS intranet website that utilizes
the "isAdministrator(GetUserName)) function.
If the boolean is true it displays some text,
if not it doesn't. It presently returns true and displays
the text for only 2 people. It seems to be tied
to the individual PC's. I understand that the
function checks to see if the logged on user is a
member of the administrators group. However, when I
check my own system I (esanborn) am an administrator
of my own system so why does the boolean not return
true when I access the page? What system is the
isAdministrator(GetUserName)) function checking,
the local system where the web browser is or the
web server???? Either way, I have check both and I cannot
determine where these two people's user accounts are
listed as the only administrators....
help!

Thanks,

Ed
