Recommended Posts

Posted

afternoon all having some issues with an employees laptop that was added to our domain.

on the local account w/ admin privileges, under appearance she can change the color scheme to what she wants (using windows classic, then the color scheme she wants). works fine. logs on to the domain and there are no color schemes available (not gpo'd either, i can log on w/ her account on another pc and have them available).

same issue with yahoo im. logged on locally (on our network), Yahoo im works fine. log on to the domain, and it cant connect. works fine from my pc and another co-workers. been banging my head against the wall w/ this one.

sager laptop, sp2 w/ all available updates, icf is off.

thanks for any help.

maybe she needs more rights when she is logged into the domain. Right click on my computer and click on Manage, then go to Local Users and Groups and go to Groups. Here you can maybe add her to the Power Users Group or the Administrators group if you like, see if that fixes it, if it does then she just needed more rights.

her domain account is a local admin on that pc. it has got to be an issue with the box itself. i can log her account onto another pc, and color themes are available. yahoo IM works fine for me (using just a domain users account, users group locally; or under my domain admin account).

the only thing i can think of is the laptop gets put on a lot of customer networks, wondering if its a gpo that waspicked up elsewhere, and since we dont restrict it ie not configured... that its still being applied since its not being updated by our gpo
