Topic: How to give a win2k user admin rights

[Arjen Halma]

Hello,

I have e-smith up and running perfectly. The only problem is that i want to give my own user (arjen) admin rights in win2k. Sow that i can update the virusscanner, and etc.

Is that possible

Greetings,

A little more info about your setup would be helpful, but I will make the following assumptions:

You have e-smith set up as a domain controller.
Your 2K machine is attached to the domain.
Your 2K machine logs directly into the domain and not the local PC.

To give your user admin rights to the local PC, you would add the domain user to your local Administrators group on the Win2k machine.

Going on the assumptions of the previous reply, i would say the best way it to log on the the windows2k machine as the local administrator AND add your regular user as a memeber of the admin's local group or at any rate the power users group as this would give you the ability to install software

Hello,

I know that when i have a local user how i can give him admin rights. But i want to give a e-smith user (arjen) admin rights on the win2k pc.

When i log in as user admin this works fine.

I want to give user arjen the same rights as admin.

Is that possible?

You want to make him a domain admin, is that the issue ?

Yes it is possible
Add the user to the admin group (on your e-smith box)
Change in smb.conf the line   domain admin group = admin
in    domain admin group = @admin
Don't forget to make custom templates
