Permission Problems With Program After Joining Domain

[CHANGE USERNAME TO westes]

After joining a machine to a W2K domain, I have permission problems in
executing Backup Exec 8.5 while logged in as local Administrator. The
Backup Exec message says I do not have permission and I must be in the
Administrators or Backup Operators group. That's bizarre, because the
local Aeministrator on this machine was added to both of those groups ages
ago. I have never had problems executing this program, and it all started
when we moved this machine from a different office and joined it to a
domain.

Has anyone seen symptoms like this before? What is the workaround?

Hi,
after logon to domain, you are using the domain account,
it's possible you have the domain user account with same
ID and password as your local adminitrator, but actually
it's regarded as different by the system.

check your user profile in your local machine, you are
using 2 different profile when logon locally and domain,
even if you are using the same user ID and password.

the solution is to give permission required to your domain
account.

Double check the members of those two groups on that computer. The administrator
will always be in the administrators group however. The reason I suggest this,
is that if there are "restricted groups" configured for the domain, then it is
possible they are removing users from those groups based on
domain/Organizational Unit policy. Running net user username will also show
group membership on that computer. --- Steve

Try to give BackupExec service user "computername\username" instead of
"username" (i.e. MyLocalComputerName\Administrator" insetad of
"Administrator", the computer might think that the Administrator user is the
Domain Administrator user hence possibly the password is incorrect for
that...
