I am in the process of creating a Master domain NT network. I have created the Domain PDC and just created the sub-domain PDC. I created a global group in the master domain which I am a part of. I am also in the administrators group of the masterdomain.

I created a local group in the PDC of the sub-domain and I have the Global Group above a member of it. Administrator is also a member of...

I can log into the domain and have access the the PDC in the sub-domain...

I CANNOT INSTALL NORTON ANTI-VIRUS TO IT... I receive "ACCESS DENIED". The Norton Console is on an NT server in the Master Domain. I have give rights in the local & domain sercurity policy to have rights to the Global Group.. Was I suppose to use the local group????
I am lost.!!

I haven't used the master domain model, so I'm not positive - but normally in NT domain-level security, you need to add the global group to the local group, not vice versa. IOW, if you want a domain group (global group) to have administrative rights to a local host (workstation or server), you add the global group to the local administrator's group, not vice versa. So, I would think the concept would be the same - you would need to add the master domain global group to the sub-domain PDC administrator's group. This sounds like what you've done, if I'm understanding you correctly, except that you created a separate, new local group instead of using the local Administrators group. But does the local group you created on the sub-domain PDChave administrative rights to that machine? If not, this would certainly be the reason that you can't install software. Hope this helps!
