Hi friends.

I am confused and frustrated. Need your help.

I have a parent domain in mix mode. I have added a child domain, it is in
native mode.

I am trying to add a user in parent domain to the "domain admin" group in
the child domain. The thing I am trying to achieve is that the IT users in
parent domain are domain admins and they should also have domain admin
permissions to the child domain.

Can you please help me. It is very very confusing. Appreciate your help.

Thanks
IK

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

Domain Admins is a global group and its members cannot be user accounts or
global groups from other domains. This is why we cannot add a parent domain
user to the child domain's Domain Admins group. Instead, we add the parent
domain's user to the child domain's Administrators domain local group in
the "Builtin" container.

For more information, please refer to:

326265 Description of the Group Scopes That You Can Use to Help Secure
Active
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=326265

I hope the above information helps. Thanks, and have a great day!

Thanks Joe for your reply. It was helpful.

The other problem is how can I get them rigths on the machines part of the
child domain. Normally Domain Admin by default is part of Local
Administrators group. Any good ideas?

Thanks
IK

Hello,

Thank you for your prompt response.

You are asking a very good question. To do so, we can add the following
command to add a user (from the parent domain) to the local Administrators
group:

net localgroup administrators DoaminName/UserName /add

For example, we can configure Startup Script (Computer
Configuration\Windows Settings\Scripts (Startup/Shutdown)) in Default
Domain Policy.

This method worked well in my test machines.

Please let me know if anything is unclear. Thanks and have a nice day!

Regards,
Joe Wu
