ConnectComputer Application Installation Problem

Hey all,

I have a problem where when I use http://EWANMCKSERVER/ConnectComputer or conncet through Client Setup Wizard I get this:

Client Setup Wizard
You must be a member of the local Administrators security group on this computer to install & configure applications ...

I have looked on the client computer in computer management in group under administrator and the user /EWANMCKSERVER/user is there...but i'm not sure if thats what it needs. Normally I would try untill I figured it out but i'm under the gun and need a quick fix.

Thanks

What user you are login in with ?
You have to login with a local administrator account.

hope this helps.

A local admin on the server or the client computer?

Robberbaron (robr)

'Local admin' is alway on workstation / client

'Domain admin' refers to logon at server.

Local admin is when you login with the administrator account on the pc ( client or server ), this is possible when you select from the domains list the record that is something like that "computername ( this computer)"
Domain admin is when you login using the administrator account and selecting from the domains list the domain where you want to login.

Hope this helps.

What I did was manually joined the domain and then tried to connect the computer after I was logged into the domain, I see now... I feel like an idiot, but I see now...

Thanks
