Newly joined Win2K3 domain losing rights to VS files

[Mike Sanders]

I have a WinXP Pro [SP-1 w/current hotfixes] user who was originally not on
the Win2K3 domain and had all of his software including Visual Studio .NET
[v7.1] installed prior to joining the domain.

After joining the domain and logging on during the operation of VS he at
some point appears to lose access or rights to local VS files and folders.
He indicates that he has tried to add himself to a local machine VS group
but is not allowed to join.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If you log into the machine as a local administrator, as
opposed to a Domain account, you should be able to modify
the members of the local group. While logged in as the
local administrator, add a domain member to the group--
you will be asked to authenticate to the domain as a
member with proper rights, and once you do that, you
should be able to add any domain member to any of the
groups, including local administrator and VS.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Jack

Jack:

When the user logs off and logs back in he goes to add domain user - the
local machine is shown but not the domain so domain user is not available.
He has to reboot .

He's a developer so rebooting is painful. we will try this on his next
reboot.
