Adding local admin account of a workstation to shared folder
I am installing a COTS application. This application requires that I log into a workstation under local admin account to start the installation. The local account needs to access a shared folder on a server. I can't not copy the installation file locally.
Since the local account doesn't have permission to the shared folder, I can access the shared folder. Is there anyway I can add the local admin account from a workstation to a shared folder on a server?

Why not just use a domain account that has local admin privileges, that will do the job.
Yes... add computername\localadminname to the share.

Trenton - the question I want to find out is how I can add computername\localadminnam
is the computer a member of the domain?
alternatively, you can connect to the share using a domain account...
net use X: \\server\share /user:domain\user /persistent:yes
when you're done,
net use X: /delete
net use X: \\server\share /user:domain\user /persistent:yes
when you're done,
net use X: /delete
If your server local admin has a different password than your workstation local admin like ours, you can browse to the folder first and enter the credentials to access then use it in the software.
