Hi list, I have this server, Windows 2000 Server running SQL Server. It's a member server, not a DC. In the local administrators group, the following members are listed: Administrator Domain\Domain Admins Domain\SQLAgentUsername When I log in as me, a domain admin, I have full admin rights. When I log in as Domain\SQLAgentUsername, I do not. The quick way that I test to see if a user has admin rights is by right clicking the start button and seeing if the "explore all users, open all users" options are there. They are not. Also, I just installed Outlook on this server (while logged in as me), and when I went to run it for the first time while logged in as Domain\SQLAgentusername, it told me that I needed admin rights to run it the first time. Okay, so although this user is in the local administrators group, he doesn't seem to be an administrator. What could be preventing this user from being an administrator when he is in the admins group? Thanks a lot!
