Windows DNS console (DNSMgmt.msc) - Run as other Domain users
<p>I have a requirement to manage multiple domains from one terminal server. The reason for this is to revoke domain admin rights from users, and have domain controller tools run from a terminal server, but for multiple domains, thus avoiding the need to log on to domain controllers.</p>

<p>I have had some success with this. Using the runas command, I have been able to run AD users and computers, and AD  sites and services for multiple domains using a shortcut e.g C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /netonly /user:DEV\username "mmc %SystemRoot%\system32\dsa.msc /domain=ukdev.uk.domain.com"</p>

<p>The DNS console is not working though. I can run that as C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /netonly /user:TEST\username "mmc %SystemRoot%\system32\dnsmgmt.msc"</p>

<p>Once run, if I select the DNS server on the other domain by inputting the ip address to connect to,I get an access denied message. The servers are using windows 2008 R2.</p>

<p>Has anyone had any success running the DNS console in the context of another domain user? I am running as a domain admin in the target domain.</p>
