I've got a small virtual lab I am trying to setup. Got the first and second Domain Controllers going, no problem. I made my account a member of the Domain Admins group. Now, I'm trying to setup my first member server which is not going to be a Domain Controller. Everything is fine, able to create the machine, join it to the domain and THEN... Can't do anything on it if I am logged in with my account as Domain Admin. I can do anything I want as the local Admin. But something as simple as viewing the properties of the network adapter, it tells me I do not have sufficient permissions. One really weird one is when I close the Initial Configuration screen, the Server Manager pops up. But if I close it and try re-open the Server Manager again, it says I don't have permission to access...
It also does not matter whether UAC is on or off. Further, I have made NO changes to group policy. Another oddity is when I log back in as local Admin and look at the properties of the Local Administrators group, no other groups are explicitly listed. If I try to add Domain Admins, it prompts me for credentials, which I provide, then it tells me Domain Admins are already a member of this group. It is a bit frustrating. I cannot do anything, for another example, if I try to launch a command prompt by right-clicking and selecting Run As Administrator, it says I do not have accesss to do so.
Any thought or suggestions would be much apprecaited.
