Way to enable a username w/o admin rights? Figure out who is adminWe had an issue with a domain admin having to be fired due to illegal
activity. We did not have any domain admin passwords, but all was not lost due to the help from here: http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windows.server.active_directory&tid=0dec8386-7330-49ff-922c-4689e234ea66&cat=en_US_09e458e2-5a48-4d89-a40f-847f472bc08e&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=&p=1 However, we almost still had issues. The Domain Admin had disabled the username Administrator. The only way we were able to get back in, was that someone remembered the username that the Domain Admin had used. If we had not figured out the username, was there a way to re enable the Administrator username without having Domain Admin rights? Or is there a way to get the usernames of who is an Administrator on the domain? Thanks Hello ghurty,
Check this articles about domain admin account: http://www.petri.co.il/reset_domain_admin_password_in_windows_server_2003_ad.htm Install the adminpak on a client machine and check the members in the groups "Administrators", "Domain administrators" and "Enterprise administrators" Any user is able to view by default with AD UC.
