Hi

My domain account is in the local admins group on a client's server. I've tried to install SP1 but apparently I don't have permissions.

I can install normal software without a problem.

Any ideas what permission I'm missing or how to get around it?

Cheers

do you know the local admin account username and password?

Try using that?

TopBanana

No but I could create another administrator... will try

TopBanana

Still didn't work.

It seem that 'Manage auditing and security log' is set to domain admins only. I can't add local admins because the add/remove options are greyed out. Their helpdesk is completely useless so if you have any other ideas I'd be interested to hear them!

You can't add local groups into domain groups anyway.

You might have to change the local security policy, or a GPO somewhere.

TopBanana

You can add local groups to local policy groups though

I've emailed the 'help' desk...

KiwiGTI

Sorry, thought you were trying to add a local group to Domain Admins. If it's greyed out you must have a GPO set somewhere

David_Wallis

you could do a gpresult to see what is being applied and then let the unhelpfull desk know.
