Windows 10: Add A Domain Admin Group as Admin on Windows 11

PLEASE NO RESPONSES FROM DIRECTLY EXPERTS UNLESS YOU 100% KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS SITUATION. Thank YouHelloBackground: One of my clients uses AD to manager their users and machines. The site manager who is an ADMIN user in AD was having difficulty installing apps on her new PC because it kept telling her that her user account did not have Admin privileges She is logged in as her domain user which does have admin privileges. I figured out that I needed to perform the following steps to give her admin privileges on Windows 11 despite her domain user having full admin rights.Open Control Panel.

admin rights keep disappearing!?!!

Hi guys,

I am actually having a problem at work that our IT department hasn't been able to figure out. I am supposed to be a member of the admin group. We are on a domain. The problem is that everytime I reboot the computer I loose my admin rights(no longer in the administrator group) and just become a normal user again. I have tried googling this and didn't get to many results.
I believe IT is just giving me local admin rights, not admin rights for the whole domain.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: It is on Windows XP Pro.

 

admin password?

You can reset the Admin Password using Windows XP repair; See Here for step by step.

Domain Admin can't set Desktop Icons

A brand new Win 10 Pro (64-bit) from DELL.
FWIW, BOTH DOMAIN ADMINs and DOMAIN USERS were added to the Local Administrators Group.

I (DOMAIN ADMIN) wanted to add "This PC" and "Network" to the local Desktop.
I couldn't open Themes | "Desktop Icon Settings" to do that.
Win10 threw an error suggesting no rights to do that! Is this CRAZY or not?

So logged in with a DOMAIN USER account and THAT user COULD do it!
What's going on here? I'm starting to get scared of this PC. *Shock

Has anyone seen this behavior before?
Is there a fix?
