A Domain Admin user doesn't have effective Administrative rights on a Domain Computer
- by rwetzeler
I am a developer who is setting up a virtual domain environment of testing purposes and am having trouble with the setup.
I have created a new DC on a new Forest... call it dev.contoso.com. I have setup a virtual internal network for all machines that are going to be apart of this virtual test environment and have given each machine a static IP address in the 192.169.150.0 subnet. I have added machine1.dev.contoso.com to the domain dev.contoso.com. I have also provisioned a user account (adminuser) in the domain and made that user a member of Domain Admins group.
Upon logging into machine1 using my newly created Domain Admin account, I cannot access/run any files on machine1. When I go into the advanced permissions for the c:\ folder and goto properties - Security Tab - Advanced - Effective Permissions and search for the dev\adminuser (mentioned above), I get an error saying:
Windows can't calculate the effective permissions for admin user
What do I need to do to get Administrative rights on Machine1? I am using Server 2008 R2 for both the AD controller and machine1.
