Riprep - problem running

[Upside]

I am trying to create a riprep image of a RIS-installed computer.

Installed Win2k using RIS
Logged on as Administrator of LOCAL machine
Unable to run Riprep from \\server\REMINST\Admin\i386 folder - "You
must be an administrator of this computer to run this utility. Log off,
and then log on using an administrator account"

Logged off.
Logged on as Enterprise Admin
Unable to run Riprep for exactly same reason.

I can't figure out why this isn't working, but I'm sure it's actually quite
simple, and I've just not had enough caffeine today.

Any suggestions?

This might be antivirus software causing this...

I haven't deployed Anti-Virus software on this machine yet. Also, the
registry value appears to be correct. :s

Also, should I be logging onto the local computer, or the domain?

Try to create a local user account on the machine (Dont forget first
to copy Administrator profile to the Default User profile so that your
custom settings dont get lost), remove the computer from the domain
and then run riprep.

That's done it!

Thanks.

Knew it was something relatively simple...
