Hello Gurus, I have a question concerning local administrator rights. Here is my setup: Server/Network Server 2003 Active Directory, single domain controller, Exchange 2003 member server, (both fully patched as of April) small network with Cisco 6509 core, and all Cisco Wiring Closet switches. Workstation Gateway units with XP Pro, IE7, fully patched as of April, joined to the domain. No group Policies in effect (I am still a newbie and doing things the hard way . We use a Web based software application that requires a java plug in (jinitiator). If I run the application logged in as the default local system administrator, it works. If I run the app logged in as a domain user, it won't work. If I run the app logged in as a domain administrator, it won't work. If I run the app logged in as a local administrator created on the local machine with no domain rights, it won't work. If I run the app as any other type user I can think of except the default local administrator, then use the "run as" option and choose the default local administrator, it won't work. (I have used this option for a couple of other apps such as a web based mainframe terminal emulation, and it did work. For this one, it will not.) I do not want this secretary to run as a local admin for everything she does. Here is the question: What rights does a default local administrator have that are missing from a local user granted local machine administrator rights by adding them to the "Machine Administrators Group"? Can those rights be granted to a "created local administrator"? If so, how? Is there some way to grant "more rights" to the "run as option"? Any guidance or pointing me in the right direction will be greatly appreciated.

Run regmon/filemon as a failing user and find out for sure where it fails. Probably something as simple as full access rights to a file or folder. > -----Original Message----- > From: ActiveDir-owner@mail.activedir.org [mailto:ActiveDir- > owner@mail.activedir.org] On Behalf Of Anthony Kimmons > Sent: Thursday, May 08, 2008 4:05 PM > To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org > Subject: [ActiveDir] Local Admin Rights Question > Any guidance or pointing me in the right direction will be greatly > appreciated.

Anthony, Once you get this fixed, you REALLY need to work on the "single domain controller" problem.

The application is called MSIS (Mississippi Student Information System). It is a custom written conglomerate running Oracle on a Sun box. >>> "Kennedy, Jim" <kennedyjim@elyriaschools.org> 05/08/08 2:25 PM >>> I just noticed 'school'.

> We use a Web based software application that requires a java plug in (jinitiator). Hi Anthony, I've asked our Ops people to send me a copy of our user GPO so I can check the specific details. From memory tho' to get Jinit to work you need to give modify access to some directories, and potentially one small part of the registry. I also had to make it work on Citrix so I think my brain is actively repressing the memory of the pain :-) ############################################################################################# This e-mail message has been scanned for Viruses and cleared by NetIQ MailMarshal. ############################################################################################## ############################################################ PLEASE NOTE: The information contained in this email message and any attached files may be confidential and subject to privilege.

I think you're barking up the wrong tree. Using process monitor is helpful to find things a standard user needs access to, but your original post indicated that it only works as the actual administrator account. That means it's not a permission issue, it's the app actually checking the username, in which case all the rights in the world won't help. -----Original Message----- From: ActiveDir-owner@mail.activedir.org [mailto:ActiveDir-owner@mail.activedir.org] On Behalf Of Anthony Kimmons Sent: Thursday, May 08, 2008 3:22 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Local Admin Rights Question I found it with Google.

sorry, disagree. it is a perms issue. jinit needs to write some junk somewhere outside the local profile (some cache directory). Thus, you need to grant Everyone write perms for this directory if you can figure out where it is -mjm Crawford, Scott wrote: > I think you're barking up the wrong tree.

I respectfully disagree with your disagreement "We use a Web based software application that requires a java plug in (jinitiator). . . . If I run the app logged in as a local administrator created on the local machine with no domain rights, it won't work. . . . Here is the question: What rights does a default local administrator have that are missing from a local user granted local machine administrator rights by adding them to the "Machine Administrators Group"?" I suppose it's possible that some perms have been changed to allow only the "Administrator" account, but I think that's far less likely than an app checking the username to make sure it's the actual account. I know nothing about jinit, so I don't disagree that it needs some extra perms, but I do disagree that it needs more perms than a user of the local administrators group has (by default). Note that the OP wasn't specifically about jinit, but rather "a Web based software application", which can have its own set of requirements. -----Original Message----- From: ActiveDir-owner@mail.activedir.org [mailto:ActiveDir-owner@mail.activedir.org] On Behalf Of Michael Miller Sent: Thursday, May 08, 2008 4:40 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] Local Admin Rights Question sorry, disagree. it is a perms issue. jinit needs to write some junk somewhere outside the local profile (some cache directory).

I think ya'll are arguing a moot point. The local administrator accounts on the boxes in question are all renamed.... Administrator does not get you anywhere.... (Of course the local profile is saved under docs and settings using the term "Administrator" but you can not log in by using the name administrator) FWIW Additionally, I have tried installing jinitiator with the desired account doing a "run as" the local admin. That doesn't work either. I will try the process monitor tomorrow. I am gone for the day. Thanks for all the replies.

The user needs modify access to somewhere like c:\program files\oracle\Jinitiatorx.x.x.xx\lib\security and one of the registry keys that they don't have by defualt. I'm trying to make sense of my Advanced Installer project file for repacking Jinit for install by GPSI, but I'm going to have to get admin access to the domain so I can browse the GPOs for workstations and users, and the citrix servers to find the other cunning things I did late one night. -----Original Message----- From: ActiveDir-owner@mail.activedir.org [mailto:ActiveDir-owner@mail.activedir.org] On Behalf Of Crawford, Scott Sent: Friday, 9 May 2008 9:59 a.m. To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Local Admin Rights Question I respectfully disagree with your disagreement "We use a Web based software application that requires a java plug in (jinitiator). . . .

it may not be looking for the name. Checking if it is the "500" account will do just that. People that code that in, should be put in front of the firing squad, though. Thank you, Tony.

The administrator account can be renamed without changing its SID. I'd expect they're looking for a particular SID. ________________________________ From: ActiveDir-owner@mail.activedir.org on behalf of Anthony Kimmons Sent: Thu 5/8/2008 5:29 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Local Admin Rights Question I think ya'll are arguing a moot point.
