|
|
We have a member server in remote office where no local IT staff available. I do not know its built-in local admin account password and domain admins was removed from its local admin group. In order to make an remote admin connection across WAN link, how can I add domain admins back into local admin group on this server?
Create a group policy that sets the domain admin group in the local admin group.
If there are any other groups in the local Administrators group, they will be removed if you apply a GPO specifying Domain Admins as a member. If you need to avoid that, you can create a startup script that adds Domain Admins to the group and add that to the group policy. Then reboot the server. There is a good article on how to this and why on Microsoft's site.
