Re: Local Admin Grp - Access Denied
Thanks BerneAI

The thing is, I had local admin rights. my account was in there. Then all of
a sudden when I log in it was telling me that it couldnt load a dll since I
was not a administrator. But a domain admin should be able to add local
admins to a machine on that domain. It always has.
