I need to be able to turn on the remote registry service and install file and printer sharing and add domain admins into the local administrators group on a workstation even if the user is not a local administrator. Does anyone know how to do this?

[Confused]

Well, if domain admins are not in local admins, I think you will have to put on your sneakers.

Domain admins should by default have local administartive rights on all computers that joined the domain.

Les... Looks like he's one of you guys. Canadian He must be close by somewhere up there. Maybe you can drive around and help him finish up this task.

Chrisky,

Sorry guy... had to poke a little fun there. If you don't have some type of account with Admin rights already, then rather difficult to remotely do much about it.

Is there any other Network group that has Admin rights on the box?

Chrisky,
Maybe this is a stupid question: Is this Win9x?

remote registry is on win9x (choosable piece) and on whole nt-line of OSes

as far as I can understand, he wants to turn on the service on NT-based machines that may have it turned off.
