How to assign local admin rights to domain user

To use Group Policy to grant local administrative privileges to a domain account, complete the following steps:

1. On the domain controller, go to Administrative Tools > Active Directory Users and Computers (you must be running with Domain Administrator privileges).
2. Right-click on the Organizational Unit (OU) upon which you want to apply the Group Policy. Click Properties.
3. The Group Policy Properties panel is displayed. Select the Group Policy tab and click New to create a new Group Policy.
4. Designate a name for the new Group Policy. Select the new Group Policy and click Edit.
5. The Group Policy Object Editor panel is displayed. Go to New Group Policy Object > Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Restricted Groups. Right-click on Restricted Groups. Click Add Group.
6. For example, name the new group "Administrators." Under "Properties", add the user "Administrator","Domain Admin" and the domain accounts or groups upon which you want the Group Policy in effect for. For example, you can add "yourdomain\Local Administrator group". Click OK.
7. Add these user rights to the domain account:
   • Act as part of the operating system
   • Log on as a service
   In the Group Policy Object Editor, go to New Group Policy Object > Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > User Rights Assignments. In the right pane, select "Log on as a service" and double-click. Add the domain user for whom you are granting the user right for and click OK. Repeat this step for "Act as part of the operating system."
8. The group policy is now enforced for the Organizational Unit to include the domain accounts and groups specified under the local Administrators group on each computer in the Organizational Unit. In addition, the domain user has been granted the necessary rights. To verify this, log into a domain computer and open the Computer Management console. Select Groups, double-click on the Administrators group, and verify the membership of the domain users.
   

Add computer to Domain - Delegate control user rights

1. Click Start, click Run, type dsa.msc, and then click OK.
2. In the task pane, expand the domain node.
3. Locate and right-click the OU that you want to modify, and then click
Delegate Control.
4. In the Delegation of Control Wizard, click Next.
5. Click Add to add a specific user (that user must be a member of Account operator group)or a specific group to the Selected users
and groups list, and then click Next.
6. In the Tasks to Delegate page, click Create a custom task to delegate,
and then click Next.
7. Click Only the following objects in the folder, and then from the list,
click to select the following check boxes: . Computer objects
. Create selected objects in this folder
. Delete selected objects in this folder

8. Click Next.
9. In the Permissions list, click to select the following check boxes:. Reset
Password
. Validated write to DNS host name
. Read and write Account Restrictions
. Validated write to service principal name

10. Click Next, and then click Finish.
11. Close the "Active Directory Users and Computers" MMC snap-in.

How to delete an Organizational Unit (OU) in Windows Server 2008 Active Directory?

Windows Server 2008 active directory has accidental deletion protections feature that would not allow you as an Administrator to delete Active Directory Object by right clicking and deleting. If you leave the “Protect object from accidental deletion” check box checked when you create the object, you will have to disable that feature before you can delete the object. To disable accidental deletion protection feature, follow this step: 1. Open up Active Directory Users and Computers through the Server Manger or Administrative Tools. 2. In the Active Directory Users & Computers console. Click on View from the menu bar and then click on Advanced Features. 3. Right click the object to delete and click on Properties. 4. In the object properties console, click on the Object tab. 5. Uncheck the “Protect object from accidental deletion” and click ok. 6. You can now delete the object by right clicking and clicking on delete.

[sdl]
#       fullscreen: Start dosbox directly in fullscreen. (Press ALT-Enter to go back)
#       fulldouble: Use double buffering in fullscreen. It can reduce screen flickering, but it can also result in a slow DOSBox.
#   fullresolution: What resolution to use for fullscreen: original or fixed size (e.g. 1024x768).
#                     Using your monitor's native resolution with aspect=true might give the best results.
#                     If you end up with small window on a large screen, try an output different from surface.
# windowresolution: Scale the window to this size IF the output device supports hardware scaling.
#                     (output=surface does not!)
#           output: What video system to use for output.
#                   Possible values: surface, overlay, opengl, openglnb, ddraw.

Ms office 2003 sp3 slipstreaming

1. Insert the Office System (2003) CD into your drive, from the "Start" button select "Run" and type

d:\setup.exe /a

This is going to start the install process of Office 2003. You'll be presented with the option of where you want the files to go (I chose "C:\Office2003"), and you'll be asked to enter your CD key.


After entering the CD key, you'll be presented with the End User License Agreement. Accept it then continue.

It's going to appear to be installing, but in fact your files are being copied over to your hard drive.

The completion window will pop up and the entire Office 2003 CD is now copied to your hard drive.

2. Extract the Service Pack files

office2003SP3-KB923618-FullFile-ENU.exe /t:c:\Office2003SP3 /c

All the office2003Sp3 files are copied to c:\office2003sp3 folder

then

Start the "Run" command from your "Start" menu again. Enter the following command:

msiexec /p c:\Office2003SP3\MAINSP3.msp /a c:\Office2003\PRO11.MSI shortfilenames=true /qb

office sp3 is updated to folder c:\office2003.
