I do some side work for a small company. They have 3
computers that when purchased were running XP home. Somewhere a long the line, someone upgraded them to XP pro so they could connect to an Active Dir domain. For the most part, the computers work fine and ARE able to authenticate with the domain. Here's the problem I am having... I sign into any one of the three computers with the domain administrator account, go to Computer Manager \ Local Users and Groups and try add a domain user account to the local Administrators group (or any group for that matter). However, when I click Add, and then click the 'Look In' list box, only the local computer is available. It does not see the domain. I can then log off the domain admin account, and log back onto the computer using any domain account I wish. I think there may be something hanging around from XP home that is preventing Pro from being able to see the domain when assigning group permissions. My question is has anyone heard of this happening? Also would anyone know how I could resolve this with out having to do a format / reinstall of Pro? Thanks in advance! Rusty |
