Windows 2000 server / DNS / User rights
I have finally installed Windows 2000 server and now have it as a domain controller.....I have 3 desktops connected to the domain, however there seems to be some confusion between the user rights I had set up localy and the domain user rights, how can I set it up to where only I will be the admin of the domain? and do I need to get rid of the policies I had setup before I had a domain?...also I have all 4 desktops setup with a static IP of 192.168.x.x behind a LINKY router, all of them including the domain controler have the DNS IP of my cable company should I change those settings? should I setup the clients DNS using the domain controler's IP?.....Thanks in advance.

Once you've joined the client computers to the domain, you are basically either using 'domain user' accounts or 'domain administrator' accounts. Those accounts are created and reside at the domain controller. Not sure what you are asking when you want only 'you' to be the admin of the domain. You are whatever you log on as.
All PCs will point their DNS to the DNS address of your ISP. Unless you are deciding to run your own DNS server. |

I understand ....I guess what I am trying to do is set up a profile that has "domain controller" rights.......just so I do not have to log on as administrator all the time..I can do it on 2000 enviroment but as soon as I set up the server and installed Active Directory I can't figure out where to set up a user with domain rights....Wow I hope this makes sense to you all...I am a little confused myself...My domain is up and running just fine but what is up with the .LOCAL after my domain name??

On your domain controller, at the programs menu -> Administrative Tools, there is a program called Users and Computers... or something like that. You can add user accounts there and have them belong in certain groups, such as the Domain Administrator.
Domain name is just a hierarchal name. You have blahblah.local because you named it that way. You could've had it blahblah.com if you wanted. |
