Problems with administrator rights on XP clients in NT dom..

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsnt.domain (More info?)

Hi,

Our small business is running on NT servers with mixed XP_sp2 and NTws
clients.
I encountered the following problem:

Domain user A who is a member of the domain administrator group is allowed
to change settings on a XP client e.g. changing the taskbar or calendar.

Domain user B who's profile is an exact copy from B, thus also member of the
administrator group cannot change the settings because of insufficient user
rights.

Is this a incompability problem between NT domain and XP clients or I'm
suffering from a blackspot? Bcause domain users who are members from the same
domain global groups (administrators) should both have all rights on the XP
client station?

Pls I'm breaking my head to sort out this problem.


Best regards

Birima

Hi Michael,

I actually copied the account and gave the new account another username. It
seems to me they are members of the exact same groups. Tomorrow I will check
and let you know. Thanks for replying me so far.

Regards,

Hi Michael,

Let me give you another example how user rights work out on a client XP
station:

User A is member of the Domain administrators. He is able to add users on a
XP station and to promote them as Administrators. However, for adjusting the
settings of the clock, he has no rights. That doesn´t make sense does it?.
User B with a exact copie of the account (A) is able to change everything on
the client. Could there be a problem with policies in relation to NT server
and XP client?

Best regards,
