can not add myself into the local admin group. And the password for local adminstrator account isnt working
I am the network administrator of a small network of about 50 users. Our Servers are all 2003 and pc's all xp pro. The problem is that the domain admin group was removed from one of the pc's and all that is left in the local admin group is the default administrator account, but for some reason the local administrator password will not work on this one pc. So i am trying to fgure a way to add either my domain account or the domain admins group back into the local administrator group. Like maybe a group policy or script or any other way. I just dont want to have to wipe out this box. Any help or direction would be great thanks.

Hi, This is the forum for exchange. For your question, I recommend you to use Windows Newsgroup to get relevant help.

Hope it helps. Xiu
