Administrators is the correct group. If the user logs in with domain credentials, you put the domain user ID in the local Administrators group, same as XP.
Sounds like you don't have the correct user ID in that group, and UAC is not in the default configuration.

This is NOT as stupid a question as it appears to be... In Vista Business, to what local group must one be added to be a local administrator? (Hint - "Administrators" does not seem to be the correct answer!) We got a new laptop w/Vista Business on it. The principle user has been made an administrator so that specifice HR apps can be installed by/for our HR manager. Problem is, one tries to connect to a network share, change some network configurations, etc, and they get a pop-up message saying that the action is denied - it requires administrator rights. No UAC, no "are you really wanting to do this", no "give the administrator password", no nothhing. This person, a member of the "Administrators" group, can do little as those actions require one to be an administrator. What am I missing (besides XP)? -------------------------------------- Richard McClary, Systems Administrator ASPCA Knowledge Management 1717 S Philo Rd, Ste 36, Urbana, IL 61802 217-337-9761 http://www.aspca.org ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
