Permissions for Admin account - HELP

[Nahel]

Hi all,
I just finished a hair-pulling transition from NT 4.0
server to w2k active directory (basically migrated my
domain to new hardware running w2k server). The major
problem I am having right now is that whenever I click
on "device manager" under "manage" I receive the
following error:
"You don't have sufficient security privileges to
uninstall devices or to cahnge device proerties or device
drivers, contact your system administrator...."

I tried to login with all my admin accounts with the same
result. Any ideas? how can I find out which of my domain
accounts is the master admin? I inherited this domain and
not sure how it was setup originally.
Thanks in advance for helping.

In "Computer Management", try looking for the name of the "Built-in
administrator" account. If this computer is a member of the Domain, the
"Domain Admins" group is automatically added to the Local Administrators
group. So, on your Domain Controller, in "Active Directory Users and
Computers", look for an account that is a member of the "Domain Admins"
group. Then use that account to log into the computer in question. After
doing that, on the computer, go to "Administrative Tools", and open the
"Local Security Policy" menu, go to "Local Policies", go to "User Rights
Assignment" and you will see an item called "Load and unload device
drivers". Make sure the "Administrators" group is added to this rights. You
can also give this right to whoever you want.
