Hi John
No no no, Unfortunately the domain admin does not automatically become a
member of the local admin, you see during the initial installation of
windows 2000 proffessional in a windows 2000 network the installation
software ask you if you want to grant specific users rights on the
local machine, apart from the administrative rights you can also grant
other rights by making them a member of the appropraite group. Most
administrators start up the installation with the domain admin account,
so when the system prompts you if you want to give any user on the
domain some rights on the local machine, they choose the local admin, it
is then and only then that the domain admin will be a member of the
local admin. But if you did not make the domain admin a member of the
local admin at that stage you will have this problem that Rajesh is
facing and you will have to go to the user and password icon in control
panel to change that.

Hi Seyi,
I think you miss the point: the Domain Admin suppose become the
member of Local Admin automatically.

The answer to your problem is very easy.
When you log on as a local admin you have administrative
privileges on
the machine, but when you log on as domain admin, you have
administrative privileges on the domain but you do not have
administrative privileges on the local machine. To solve this
problem
all you have to do is to go to the user and password icon in
control
panel and give the domain admin administrative rights on the
individual
machine, once you do this you'll not have this problem again. I
had such
a problem once and that was the solution to the problem.
On the other hand since you are deploying these application on
so many
laptops, why don't you look at the option of using office 2000
and using
group polo icy to automatically deploy the application to these
laptops,
this will relieve you of all the trouble you are going through.

Hi ALL,
I think my message has been wrongly send ...I am sending it
again
Description : I have installed Windows 2000 Professional on to a
desktop.
When I login as local admin I can install Office 97 Professional
and
Outlook
98. But if I login as domain administrator I am unable to
install Office
97
or outlook 98.
While installing Office 97 a box opens up (before I get the
choice to
select
Typical, Custom..) telling me Office 97 has not been installed
successfully.
Similarly if I try to install Outlook 98 it goes ahead with the
installation
but with a number of error messages and finally neither the
outllok icon
appears and nor can I get it to work.
It is required that I install both these software as domain
admin
because I
have to package it to deliver to over a hundred laptops. The
problem
described above has nothing to do with the packaging software as
I have
not
used it till now in this case.
If you have any solution to this problem please forward it to
me. If you
have any paper which states this as a known problem please
forward the
same
as well
#
Thanks
Rajesh
