Take the 2-minute tour ×  have taken over a client from another
consultant.  the current file server that is a member server is
joined to the domain. BUT, if you look under control

domain_name\Administrator is not added to the server for local
account. i never really gave much attention to this in the past
and just came across it by accident while looking at the ntfs
security settings on some folders. This means that the
domain_name\administrator is not explcitly set in ntfs security
but i am assuming since that person was the creator they
actually have control based on that user.  Should the
domain_name\Administrator not be added to it (this is part of a
member server) explicitly?  thanks. gd  share|improve this
