    I had to have serveal Apps reloaded on our TS Web Access server(Server 2008 R2) and thus needed to republish the Apps.  When I went to do so I began experiencing issues with getting messages saying I am not logged in as an Admininstrator though I was using my Domain Admin credentials.  I went to server manager to double check that the built in Administrator group and get the message saying "Server Manager must be run as an Administrator - server manager must be run under a user account that is a member of the built in Administrators group. I have tried right clicking on server manager in Admin tools/computer manage and running AS as Administrator to no avail.  This is indeed bad news.  Is ther a backdoor way to access this built in group for adding users too?  Say maybe through the command prompt?  I have always used the GUI so I dont know if an alternate route exists.

    Sounds like you may need to logon locally as administrator and add your domain account to the local administrators group.

    Hi,

     

     

    Can you logon to this server via a local administrative account to check whether the domain admin is in the administrators group?

     

     

     

    Thanks.

    Make sure your the userID you are using is a member of 'Domain Admins' Group. not just Built-in administrators
