Hello all,

I'm logged on to a Win2K Server using the domain
account DOMAIN\Administrator. Whenever I try to go into
Disk Management I get an error message that access is
denied: You don't have adequate security rights to use
this resource.

Ther is a local account named Administrator which I
cannot log on because the password is different than the
DOMAIN\Administrator account.

Is it safe for me to delet the local account? If I do
will that release the security on the Disk Manager so
that I can access it? The DOMAIN\Administrator account
is a member of the Domain Admins group and the group is
in the local Administrators group on the server.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Tom
 
Are you logging on the server directly or from a workstation?
Don't delete that local Administrators account.

I don't quite understand. There should only be one administrators account on
a server.

You can't delete the built in administrator account. You should be able to
reset the password on it being a domain administrator if the domain admins
group is still in the local administrators group [assuming you are not
denied access to local users and groups also]. Then simply log on with the
new password. --- Steve
