I really appreciate it. I was in a hurry and forgot about the &quot;Domain Admins&quot; group. Thanks for pointing this out because I was stumped.

I have a strange problem with Active Directory on a Windows Server 2003 domain. I have a new user I just added to the domain and have put them in the Administrators group. I have double checked it and the user is in there. They even used their credentials to add their new computer to the domain. However, the computer will not allow him to install or change anything as if he was just a regular user. I have tried gpupdate /force and rebooted several times. I am not sure what to try next. Any suggestions are appreciated. <br />
<br />
Thank you!
