Administering Mac osx on Microsoft Active Directory

I have just binded a MAC osx Tiger Machine to my Active Directory Domain. I am able to login and authenticate with no problem, The problem I am having is when log in with my domain admin account I cannot administer the system. In Directory access I checked off the off the option to allow domain admins, and enterprise admins  administer the computer... Any suggestions?

Do you by chance have the same login in AD as you do locally?

No, there is only 1 local account and it is a totally different login.
