    Windows doesn't think I'm an administrator ?

    Arg this is so frustrating.

    I originally had my WindowsXP Professional laptop only using our workgroup, instead of logging into a domain.
    "Jamie Plenderleith", locally, was a member of the administrator's group.

    On our original SBS4.5 (NTServer 4.0) system I was also an administrator.
    Now that I've installed Windows 2000 Server, and my laptop is now logging onto the domain, I don't have administrative priviledges on my laptop.

    I'm logging onto the domain as "Jamie", and there's a user on the server "Jamie Plenderleith", with display name "Jamie" if I remember correctly.
    Anyway, I can log in no problems.

    But the problem is, that even though I'm an administrator, I don't have administrative rights.
    Another odd thing, when I browse to the server, it asks me a username and password when I try to access the server first.

    What on earth is happening ?

    Can you not add your domain user account to the local Administrators group?

    Get these: Mozilla Opera OpenBSD
    I have books for sale: "MCSD in a Nutshell" and "VB Distributed Exam Cram" - PM me for details. Will also trade for a decent ATX Pentium 2 MB/CPU/RAM combo.
