Local default administrator accounts was converetd to domain admins group after AD installation SO NOW I CAN'T LOG IN TO THE SERVER ANYMORE!! can any one please give me any trick or any suggetion? I REALLY NEED HELP PLEASE I DON"T WANT TO RE-INSTALL THE WINDOWS SERVER. Thanks

Hello, a domain controller has no local administrator anymore, that is by design, only the doamin "administrator" exist after running dcpromo on a server. Local administrator accounts exist on domain member servers or domain workstations. So in your case it is no problem. Add a computer to the domain install RSAT tools and enable the Group Policy Management Console.

Now open GPMC and undo the change you have done in the GPO.Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.
