#31288 - 2002-10-23 09:41 PM Add Domain Admins to local Administrators Group
QA QA Lurker Registered: 2002-10-23 Posts: 2	Is there an easy way with KiXtart to add the Domain Admins to the local administrators group of the workstation? The only solution I currently see is: shell "admin.cmd" and admin.cmd has the following: net localgroup administrators "domainxx\domain admins" /add If there isn't a cleaner way to do this, I guess this is what I'll do. Thanks. [ 23. October 2002, 21:45: Message edited by: QA ] _________________________ Q.A.

QA QA Lurker Registered: 2002-10-23 Posts: 2	Thanks for the reply. That seems a bit more complicated than what I want. But to make this more clearer. I do have access to most of the workstations but a few users took it upon themselves to remove the domain admins from their computer. I figure the logon script would take care of this by using their account (assuming it has enough rights to do so). Thanks again! _________________________ Q.A.

BTW, this is exactly the reason why regular users should not have local administrative privileges. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

That's what I'm doing however it a couple of scenarios it's not working. _________________________ Select * from users where clue > 0 [b]0 rows affected.[/b]

Rocco Capra Rocco Capra Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-04-01 Posts: 380 Loc: Mansfield Ohio	Question, the nature of the Domain Admins group is to give the users in that group full rights on all pc's on the domain. Therefore what added benifit is there to add them to the local PC administrators group? Isn't that a double kill?

Howard Bullock Howard Bullock KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-09-15 Posts: 5809 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	The global group "Domain Admins" is automatically placed in the local Administrators group automatically when a computer joins the domain. This group may not be beneficial when working a "Master Domain" model because the you can not add master domain accounts to the "Domain Admins" group of a resource domain. In this case you would have to add the "MasterDomain\Domain Admins" group to the computers local Administrators group. Also when users get Admin level access to their computer many remove the domain "Domain Admins" global group from the Administrators group. In that case it would have to be added back when the user is removed. _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Rocco, This is usually the result of giving users admin rights on the box. They turn around and remove Domain Admins just like in the fable of the sorcerer's apprentice. QA, See this thread: Topic: local admin Pretty much the same, only different. After you add yourself back in, you should remove the user. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

Rocco Capra Rocco Capra Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-04-01 Posts: 380 Loc: Mansfield Ohio	Good reason not to give admin rights to local users! I guess since none of our users are admins, no need for worry. right? Thanks, Rocco _________________________ I Love this board!! -------------------- My DEV PC is running KIX 4.22 WINXP Pro
