So here is my situation:
My company runs a "Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition" domain server, connected to a bunch of Dell Optiplex PC's (380's, and 9020's). The older Dells (380) are connected to the domain server and do not require the admin password to install new software, or access certain files used by our Help Desk Software. The newer Dells (9020) we are upgrading to though require an admin password to do all these functions even when using an established account.
Both the older desktops and the newer ones are running Windows 7, and I do not see any reason why they would run differently. I am new to working with domain servers however and had to connect the PC to the domain after setup (and creating a new admin and user account) simply due to lack of knowledge. I don't see how that might mess things up, but I feel I should mention it.
Edit: whoami /groups brings up the groups "BUILTIN\Administrators" and "BUILTIN\Remote Desktop" on the old build that works the way I want, but these are missing from the new build. Otherwise they are the same. Obviously this is a key difference, how would I go about fixing this?
Thanks.
