http://serverfault.com – I need to get a little help in tuning my active directory. I would like to be able to give the right of 'local administrator' to a group of users already defined in AD. This in order not to have to log on each machine and assign local administrator rights one by one to each user needed. thank you (HowTos)

Stories similar to windows server 2008 r2 how to define local administrator on each machine?

In our AD 2003 domain each user gets local admin permissions on their computer. Everyone else can login with their domain account as normal user.

Right now this means going to the desktop and manually adding the user as a local administrator.

Is there any way to automate this process through logon scripts or GPOs?

I am having a problem with a recently reinstalled laptop with Win 7 Enterprise.

i am looking for a way with which i can autostart a certain program on logon of a user with user-rights with administrator-rights.

Any ideas on that?

I would like to add a local user account from a remote computer to a local group on a Windows "server core" box. Neither the workstation, nor the server are in a domain. Is that possible?

I've setup a FTP server in IIS 7.5 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard and enabled Basic Authentication. I have a basic user ("Ropstah") on the server which is in the Users and Some Custom groups. I've allowed the Some Custom group read/write access on the FTP folder.

Now when I connect to the server using "Ropstah" I get the following error:

530 User cannot login

Why is this?
