Grant a user remote admin rights for dns management Windows Server 2008?

  • 772

Im connecting to a remote dns server trough a APS.NET app. if i use the default admin account it works fine but when trying to use a other admin account named DNS i get.

[Exception: Unable to enum zone: Access is denied. ]
RowanvaleSW.DNSAutomation.Zones.EnumZone(String Zone, String Server, NetworkCredential DNSCredentials) +3599

Is there anything else i need to do then place the user in the Administrator group?

  1. From your DNS console, right click on server, choose Properties. On Security tab add user and give him appropriate permissions.

  2. The account needs to be a member of the DNSAdmins security group. Also if they are a DNS admin then it wouldn't hurt to add them to the DNSProxyUpdate group as well if their job function requires it.
