Did you run your command window "as Administrator"? UAC doesn't apply to the built-in Administrator account. It does to every other account. You seem to be running into that issue.
Regular users haven't had modify permissions to the root of drives in Win2k3 days (at least to the C: drive). Perhaps they have just extended that in Win2k8 R2 Cheers Ken From: Neil Standley [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, 23 January 2010 8:08 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: 2008 R2 in a 2003 R2 domain Please forgive me if this has been answered already, I searched through my list emails and couldn't find anything related. Is there anything I need to do to prep my 2003 R2 domain before introducing a 2008 R2 member server? I ask because, well I was stupid and forgot to ask before adding it to my domain and now have a few oddities. After joining this server to the domain, the Domain admins group is automatically added to the local admin group on the 2008 server. When I log in as my domain admin account I find I can't do some things an admin should have rights to do. Such as execute IISReset, see error below. (yes, IIS IS installed and running) This is the exact message I get when trying to run IISReset using my domain admin account. If I login as the local admin I can run this without errors. Access denied, you must be an administrator of the remote computer to use this command. Either have your account added to the administrator local group of the remote computer or to the domain administrator global group. I also could not create a new file on the root of D until I added authenticated users and gave them modify permissions. But again, if I'm logged in as local admin then I have no problem doing this.
