Question : Domain User Setup Issue

We have and SBS2008 Server.

8 Workstations on Windows 7

All Workstations are fresh installs of Win 7 Pro 32 bit

7 of them work great and have attached to the domain just fine, 1 has lost it's Admin abilities so I cannot remove programs, change drive letters etc on that PC.

Here the process I used (which worked perfectly everywhere else but this one PC)

Clean Install of Win 7 Pro
Got it up and running and Networked (i.e. assigned it an IP address and gave it the DNS address of our SBS2008 machine)
Joined the domain
Rebooted
Login with local user account
Once up run http://connect
Follow procedure setting up a user name and password which matches what is set up in SBS2008
After this I tell it to copy the user settings etc from the local user account I am using now
Reboot
Login with the proper user name and password to access the domain and SBS2008

Connection is fine and I can access the internet, the server, etc but I CANNOT change drive letters under Administrative Tools, nor can I uninstall programs etc.

Answer : Domain User Setup Issue

One of the steps that the connect to computer wizard does is *OPTIONALLY* add the domain user account that you migrate data for to the *LOCAL* administrators group. This is, as I said, optional and can be easily skipped or gone unnoticed.

Simply log into the machine with a domain admin account and then, using the user manager control panel, find the user you want to grant admin privileges to and make them a member local administrators group.

HTH,
