Windows admin permissions
 

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?

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

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.

You can add local groups to local policy groups though

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

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

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

:D :D
