A user in domain local group administrators is not administrator rights

Trying to figure out what the problem is with the computer of a friend at work.

When you connect as long as domain user that is part of the local Administrators group, the user looks like he doesn't have administrator rights. For example, they are unable to create files in certain folders, etc where you wait for only admin to be.

If the computer is in safe mode, then everything works as expected.

If the same newspaper users in another machine on the network, while everything looks ok.

It just seems to be on a machine that he has problems.

All local group settings look ok and permissions on individual files look ok - and they work in safe mode.

This is a friends working machine, and for now, he tries to avoid his reconditioned machine to work around this problem. There is no restore point for him to try (it's out of our hands). We tried a number of things right, but nothing was any use so far - other than to try safe mode, but we do not know how to use this info.

Any advice on how this track more would me much appreciated!

OK, now that we are talking about. The files you mention are all the system folders. They enjoy special protection under Windows 7 to prevent rogue programs to do things behind your back when you are signed in under an administrator account. It goes the same for the root of C:. You can create folders here, but you cannot create files.

  • Cisco ACS 4.2 a user in several local groups

    Currently, I like this group map

    ACS groups window

    GRP of GRP-A-B-1 and PDM - 2
    GRP - A. GRP - 1

    GRP - Grp-2 B

    For example currently a user test1 is part of two groups 1 and 2 under windows and is mapped to the Grp-A-B of the CSA. Is it possible if I delete the mapping of Grp-A-B in ACS and can see the user test1 speratley in both groups (Grp - A and Grp - B) to GBA?

    Salam Muhammad,

    If you have a local user in ACS, this user cannot be a member of both groups at the same time.

    The same concept applies to external users. They cannot be mapped to two different groups at the same time.

    If you delete the configuration of Grp-A-B, the test1 user will be mapped to the first group in the list because ACS 4.2 process mapping group in the order:

    ' the snip "'

    Order of group mapping

    ACS always maps users to a single group of TISA. However, a user can belong to several groups the group mapping. For example, a user named John could be a member of the ensemble of the engineering group and California, and at the same time be a member of the combination of Group Engineering and management. If the value of group ACS mappings exist for these two combinations, ACS must determine what group John should be affected.

    ACS prevents contradictory group set mappings by assigning an order of mapping for the whole group maps. When a user who is authenticated by an external user database is assigned to a group of ACS, ACS begins at the top of the list of groups for this database mappings. ACS sequentially checks group memberships of user in the database of the external user against each group mapping in the list. Where to find the first set group mapping corresponding memberships to external users in the user database, ACS assigns the user to the group this group map ACS and ends the process of mapping.

  • option to Editor local group policy for the administrator account on Windows 7

    I have an administrator account I want to restrict in some respects. I know that this can be done via local group policy. So, I need:

    1. Installation of new programs require an admin password.

    2. Some programs (that I choose) run without admin password.

    3. Held together under one account, without comments, accounts of users or lower privileges.

    No idea how to do it?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    According to the description of the problem you had to restrict access to some programs using the local Group Policy Editor. The Local Group Policy Editor is a snap Microsoft Management Console (MMC) that provides a single user interface through which all the settings of local Group Policy objects can be managed.

  • Script to add a domain user to the local Administrators group raises the error "the network path is not found."

    I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain and a Windows XP Pro workstation that has been attached to the domain and then disconnected. I am trying to create a VBS script to add a domain user to the local Administrators group.

    I log on my computer as a local administrator and run the following script:

    Dim oNetwork: Set oNetwork = WScript.CreateObject ("WScript.Network")
    StrPC Dim: strPC = oNetwork.ComputerName
    Dim OGroup: Set oGroup = GetObject ("WinNT: / /" & strPC & "/ directors")
    Dim OUser: Set oUser = GetObject ("WinNT://domainname/username")
    oGroup.Add (oUser.ADsPath)

    This script returns the error "the network path is not found."

    However, I am able to go into control panel > user accounts > enter the user name and the domain name > click Next... > choose the administrators of the 'other' group and the user name will be added to the local Admin group.

    The same script runs without error if it is launched after logon on the workstation with a domain administrator account.

    How can I get my script runs without error, when you are logged into the workstation as a local administrator?

    Best regards, Andy

    The code that I used came from here. If the syntax of the Add method is passed to oUser.ADsPAth to "WinNT: / /" & domainname & "/" & username, the script works correctly.

    Therefore, the modified script:

    Dim oNetwork: Set oNetwork = WScript.CreateObject ("WScript.Network")
    StrPC Dim: strPC = oNetwork.ComputerName
    Dim OGroup: Set oGroup = GetObject ("WinNT: / /" & strPC & "/ directors")
    Dim strUser: strUser = "WinNT://domainname/username."
    oGroup.Add strUser

    Windows 7 Home Basic Edition under the snap-in to manage local groups is not included. However, you can do the work manually as follows:

    1 log in under an administrator account.
    2. click on the start planet.
    3. type cmd.exe in the search box.
    4. press on Ctrl + Shift + Enter
    5. click on "run as Administrator".
