Hi All, We have a problem, which is that several of our users are local admins on their own workstations. We'd like to let them retain these rights, but we're switching to a PDC. Is there a way to have them authenticate to the domain, and as a regular user, but on the Windows workstation have full control? What's the best solution for this? I obviously don't want to make them domain Admins. Thanks, Chris
After you set up those users on the PDC, you should be able to add them to the Administrators group on the Windows workstation. I have done that with a few users and it is working properly as far as I can tell. The important thing is that you must add the DOMAIN user to the Administrators group, not the current local user. Hope this helps! Bob> We have a problem, which is that several of our users are local admins on > their own workstations. We'd like to let them retain these rights, but we're > switching to a PDC.
