Hi  folks, I have a XP client Fresh load, connecting to sbs2003, if i log in  
  
as Administrator of the domain on the client ,and create a folder on the  
  
client, when i go to security and go to add the local users domain account  
  
details, under location it shows the domain etc, i can find the user in the  
  
domain, add them, give them rights to the folder etc, but if i then try to  
  
add another user, go advanced etc the domain dissappears all i get is the  
  
local system name and associated user, or i get a mesage, "the advanced page  
  
cannot be opened because of the following error the server is not  
  
operational,  "i can ping the server and brouse the server drive from  
  
explorer so it is there, if i reboot the client it lets me back to the domain  
  
etc, if i do the same above again the same thing happens again.  
  
Also if i setup the new pc create a new system account on the server, join  
  
the domain  etc  and say install the fax to the client, when i log onto the  
  
client as the end user  i get a message i must be a member of the local  
  
administrator group etc, i have added administrator rights to that users  
  
account on the server and the client,  still no go, does the added  
  
administrator right cancel out the ordinary user rights or do i need to  
  
remove the ordinary user details from the user account on the server to allow  
  
the user to now be a Administrator so he can install the fax software. In  
  
other word does the Administrator membership override the standard user  
  
rights.  
  
Best Regards

Hello Graeme,  
  
Thank you for posting to the SBS Newsgroup.  
  
From your description, I understand that you have two issues:  
  
a. On domain client workstation, right click a folder, go to Properties ->  
  
Security tab -> Click Add -> Click Locations. Sometimes you only see this  
  
client workstation listed inside or you get an error message.  
  
b. You want to know whether "Administrator membership" will replace the  
  
domain client permissions.  
  
If I have misunderstood your concerns, please DO let me know.  
  
I suggest that we troubleshoot the issues one by one. For the first issue,  
  
I need your help to gather the following information for research:  
  
1. On the problematic client workstation, run "eventvwr" (without quotation  
  
marks), check whether there is any error, if yes, double click it, click  
  
the Copy button and paste the full content to the Newsgroup.  
  
2. Please capture two screens shots for the issue. One screen shot for only  
  
client workstation listed inside, another screen shot for the error  
  
message. We need the accurate information for research.  
  
3. If you log on to other domain client workstations, will this issue  
  
occur? If you log on as Domain Administrator account or other domain user  
  
accounts, will this issue occur?  
  
4. On the server and the problematic client workstation, open a command  
  
window, type "ipconfig /all" (without quotation marks), copy and paste the  
  
full content of the output to the Newsgroup. [Note]: Please do not make any  
  
changes of the result.  
  
For your second issue, I am sorry that I cannot complete understand your  
  
scenario. Please see:  
  
a. You mentioned "I have added administrator rights to that users account  
  
on the server and the client", I am not sure how you added, and what exact  
  
"administrator" it is, Domain Administrator or Local Administrator.  
  
b. To answer your question whether "Administrator membership override the  
  
standard user rights". The answer is Yes. Please understand that on client  
  
workstation, Domain Administrator is same as the Local Administrator on  
  
client workstation. Please see:  
  
i. On the client workstation, right click My Computer, select Manage.  
  
ii. Expand to Computer Management (Local)\System Tools\Local Users and  
  
Groups\Groups.  
  
iii. On the right pane, double click Administrators.  
  
iv. You will notice that the local admin account and Domain Admin account  
  
all listed inside and they are members of Administrators Group.  
  
Hope this information answers your questions. If anything is unclear,  
  
please feel free to let me know. I am looking forward to your reply!  
  
Best regards,  
  
Brandy Nee
