Does anybody know how to create a new user in RMMC that has the Domain Admin Rights (Yes it can be done) as i tryed to do this today and i carnt login with the user i created. I probs did it wrong so wondered if anyone could give me a guide or something? Sorry if this sounds a bit dumb but its my first time in RMMC!

I find that the active directory users and computers mmc is easier to use than the rmmc!

And it doesn't leave nice RM logs behind, and your tech probably don't know it exists =)

hmm, so how do i get on to that mmc then?

Well, you just answered your own question there

To get on Microsoft Management Console, go to start -> run... and type "mmc" (without the quotes); click ok.

That method won't actually give you any immediate functionality though- it just opens a blank document in mmc. After opening the app, you'll need to hit file->open, and navigate to c:\windows\system32 , as that's where all the mmc documents are stored.

The active directory management tools aren't installed on a standard windows install by default, so you may find that the ones you're after aren't there, in which case you'll have to install them yourself.

Thanks , so with that can i add a new domain user so i can use the admin rights for the network from my laptop?

If you do definitely have admin access on the network, then yes- you need to use the Active Directory Users and Groups snapin for MMC (dsa.msc)

If go to start -> run..., type 'dsa.msc' (without the quotes) and click ok, that should get you the console up straight away
