    What is preventing a domain or local admin from installing updates?


    I have three domain joined laptops. They are remote work laptops and are not on the network. I was able to complete preliminary updates to all the devices before the feature update to 24H2.After the reboot, I was able to login and check for updates again. Now the feature update to 24H2 appeared. When trying to install the update I am told "We couldn't install some updates using the account you are signed in with. Try signing in with another account."I tried to repeat the previous steps while using a local admin account instead of a domain admin account but get the same message.

    :)

    Local Admin/Domains Admin Rights ISSUE please help

    So from my side as local admin group who has permission to change group policy or change/add user to active directory. So only Domains Admin could do it? It is not possible to change local admin to domains admin from local permission?
    Ok so I forgot on this option. And it is possible to launch the .exe file without UAC permission? Because I succesfully installed software "mouse without keyboard" from Microsoft but after I open the launch.exe, system asked me as User to enter the admin password and name to allow changes in system. I know that UAC asking when software want to make some changes in registry or is launched from C/Program Files (software is installed there) it is any way to launch it without UAC? (option to turn off UAC is not possible)

  3. Adding Domain User as Local Admin

    Hi there,

    We are trying to set up the computer of one of our remote employees in house and are running into the issue that every time a setting is changed or a program is installed, it is requiring an administrator password from our domain. We don't want this (meaning
    having to put the domain admin password in every time) but keeping the domain on the computer is necessary for some of the software our company uses. Is there any way to make the domain user / local user an admin on the machine but not over the domain itself?

    What is preventing a domain or local admin from installing updates?

    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.
