When we receive a report of a broken site, we take it and identify the core issue causing the problem.

I recently set up Vista Business on a notebook in an AD domain. Then I added the domain admin account into the *local* administrators account based on this blog: 'Manoj Nagpal's Blog | Add domain user to local vista administrator group' (http://www.manojn.com/blog/post/2008/06/20...ator-group.aspx) However, I am still required to actually type the administrator name and password by UAC. How do I reset things so I only have to click 'Continue'?? UAC is a good thing but I don't want to have to type this over and over again... I had it working like this on a previous Vista install, so I know it works... Thank you, Tom -- tom12010
