network admin cant do certain things that local admin can

[Guest]

Here is my situation : I have FULL administrative privilages throughout the
network. Everytime I install or remove anything from a 95/98/2k machine, it
does as I say. However, whenever I try to install certain things, or remove
certain things on an XP Pro machine, it doesn't allow me to do so. It says I
don't have administrative privilages, and the only way I can get it to
install or uninstall whatever it is, is to create a local account on that
machine that has the same username as my domain name (the one with FULL admin
access) and it has to be an administrator on the local computer as well. As I
said, the only time this has come up is on XP Pro OS, and its happened every
single time I've needed to add or remove something from a machine running XP
Pro. Any advice is highly appreciated!

Hi -

Sounds to me like your Domain Admins group is not a part
of the Administrators group on the local machine. You
might want to see exactly who's a member of the local
Administrators group.

Hope this helps -
