strange case of Domain admin != local Admin

http://serverfault.com – I've ran into a strange issue. Our domain admin accounts, for some odd reason, aren't seeing certain files. It was mainly on three workstations that were off the network for a while for hardware repairs and were rejoined. The three workstations are running 7 SP1. The respective Domain controllers that were used as logon servers are running 2008r2 x2, a 2008sp1, and 2003sp2. The domain is a 2003 level. When they were first rejoined to the domain, there were authentication issues. So they were rejoined under three new computer accounts with new names. Now it seems Domain and Enterprise Admi (HowTos)

Stories similar to strange case of Domain admin != local Admin

When licensing User CALS for Windows Server, I have following problem (or question):

Given you have 30 employees in your domain. 5 of them are administrators. Each of these administrator has two domain accounts, one for working, with almost normal permissions, and one account with domain admin permissions, for logging in into servers and workstations.

redirecting domain to a folder 40 weeks 4 days ago

i have a domain www.mydomain.com. it is hosted in apache.

when i hit this domain, it takes me to apache default page.

We have an Active Directory 2003 domain with Windows XP workstations. Many settings on the workstations are configured and locked down via Active Directory domain group policy.

We need to send a few workstations to a remote office that does not have a domain controller or a connection to the domain.

Hi all! the "how to" forum is closed, so I post here.

This is how to create a domain user admin thru an exploited domain PC with local machine administration rights.

The domain is called LAB.local based on Windows 2008R2.

My company allows users to bring their own devices into the office and use the internal network due to our fast internet connection. These devices/PC's are not joined to the company Windows Domain.

Can anyone on the domain, including domain admin accounts, access files or shares on these devices/PC's without the owners knowledge? Are users personal files safe?

At work we have a Domain Controller running Server 2008 R2. Our desktop support group has the ability to join computers to the domain using their network credentials.

I have a domain controller that is Server 2008 and another that is 2008R2. I changed my password two weeks ago, and have been able to log into the domain controllers no problem. When I want to access any other server in the domain (the entire environment is nothing but IIS and SQL servers) I run into a strange issue. In the RDP client, I use my current credentials.

Here's a quick summary of the environment I support: we have a domain (domain A) that has about 20 client computers. The domain server for this domain and all the clients sit within the network infrastructure of a larger domain (domain B). All the computers get their network settings via DHCP from domain B's servers.

I am trying to run iisreset on a windows-xp. It's not a domain machine, just a local workgroup we use for testing.

The error I get is : IIS Admin Service is Disabled

Just like "IIS Admin Service is Disabled" Error When IIS Admin Is Running with the difference that that Q is for a domain connected computer.
