Domain account problem?

Question

My sharepoint server is inside a domain controller now, but I use the administrator account in the domain to sign in to the domain, I want to know if I can use the local computer account to sign in to the domain?


Thanks.

Answer 2

Hi,
Since you are in Sharepoint environment,
 create a user account in Active Directory Users and computers and add the account in local server  Administrator Group or according to your requirment.
If the user account created in ADUC is member of DOMAIN ADMIN , then the user will be a member of all worstations ' Administrator group

Let us know the status.

Hi, 

Beside Xavier’s answer, I saw your “SharePoint server is inside a domain controller”, I should remind you that there is no local account in the DC and you cannot create one either.
