philbot500 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Been watching there pages for a while now. I have a problem with AD. I work for a college in London. I have a domain controller running 2003 and 30 clients running XP. There is an OU called students(quite restricted) and an OU called Tutors( not so restricted) The problem is that when I create a new student account, they are admin. If I move an old(restricted) student account, to the admin OU they still get the student policy and if I move an Tutor account to the student ou then they still have admin rights. I ran the GPResult.exe and it saw the default domain policy but not the policy on the OU. The 'IT guy' has been in and installed sp1 for 2003 then uninstalled it since this problem started. Is this the problem and if so wow can I rectify it. Thanks for any help, Philbot500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Installing and removing an entire service pack is very likely to give you issues, especially of the weird type like this. But tbh, there is probally a neat little solution especially for this, I just don't know enough about AD setup myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philbot500 Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 Thanks VaKo and kickarse for the reply. Everyone that I have talked to said it's probably the service pack thing. I think because of the problem and the fact that it's such a small(16 cliant) network with no up-time requirement, it's probably easiest and quickest just to rebuild. Talk to you next time I mess up the server(which may well be soon!) Philbot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Might be worthwhile building a know good configuration, then ghosting it. If you have that, you will be able to cut the time needed for future rebuilds on that hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philbot500 Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 got a system state backup and all user data is on the D: drive. Think this will be okay, yeh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
