By default, all workstations Windows 7 default "Administrator" Local Account are now disable - not the Administration Group. A new and high secured Local Administrator on all workstations is created. The issue we are having is the New Administrator Account trying to access any domain network shared directory on several file servers are not allowing any workstations to access them. The Windows 7 Default Administrator account always gave a domain username/password prompt that a domain user needs to sign in as to access the file server information. We were not expecting a new local administrator account to disable this functionality. What is causing this to not work and the solution to enabling any new local administrator account to get the domain prompt to gain access to the network file system.

Still trying to figure this one out. Read some forums that Any new Administrator account on local machines are not the same priviledges as the true original default administrator account. ( if that is true or not beats me). Anyone have any ideas for this yet? I did play with UAC settings - no results, played with regedit - no results, played with Active Directory Users/Groups and AD Group Policy - no results. Seems something this simple proving to ending up being complex to resolved.

Okay, figured this out, the local workstation administrator account were the same as the server administrator account. Because both local account were the same for both type of machines the prompt for domain account was given. Any new administrator account will at default prevent access to any network shares on the domain.

Hi Hmmm, I want to know that if the Windows 7 workstation in the domain? You may try to set the same account in the local machine, and set the workgroup name as the same as the domain. I have tired , and is feasible.
