Hello,

An XP workstation gives the ability to assign a standard domain user,
Administrator rights on the workstation. This doesn't seem to be the case
with a Windows 7 Pro machine. I thought assigning the user as the manager
of the machine in the Active User profile on the server (Windows Server 2003
Business) but that didn't do it. Is there a way to assign him Administrator
privledges on the local machine?

Thank you for any help and God Bless,

Mark A. Sam

This doesn't happen at the server level. It happens at the client level.

You need to give the domain username admin rights on the local machine.

Hello Mark,

You have to use restricted groups, see Florian blog about:
http://www.frickelsoft.net/blog/?p=13

Another way is coming with Group policy preferences, which requires at least
a Windows Vista/Windows server 2008 or higher OS machine to manage them.

Bill, I did give the user Administrator rights on the local machine. I
apologize for not being clear. I removed the user from the domain.
