I Need to add a user to “Local Administrators”

by mpv1953 . Updated 18 years, 10 months ago

Hello All:
I’m a Windows 2k3 SBS newbie, although I’ve been a DBA for several years. I am setting up a SBS 2003 network server for a friend. One of her workstations (Win 2k Pro) has a app that requires that the software owner be a local administrator. The original account name was “P200”.

If the users connect locally as P200, they are not on the network.

I created a P200 network account. If the users connect with that account, they cannot run the software.

The vendor says the P200 user must be a local admin, but I cannot figure out how to make that network account become a local admin on that workstation.

I’ve been scanning docs and web sites, but most everybody is talking about removing somebody from the Local Admin group, not adding. If you can help me, or point me to a good doc for this, I’d be grateful.

Thanks,
Mike
