Why can I not add the domain Administrators group to local Administrators group on Server 2012?

  • 772

I noted that it's possible to configure Users and Groups on servers that do not operate as a DC, but this area is disabled on DCs. I figure that the DOMAIN\Administrator group is automatically given permissions to log into all DCs.

However, it appears that you can customize the Users and Groups on servers that do not operate as DCs. Why is this the case? And, why am I unable to add the DOMAIN\Administrators group to the local Administrators group on a server that isn't a DC?

  1. Is the new server a clean install or a vm clone? I have read an issue where a user used the same vm-disk to install the dc and a member server. he couldn't add domain users /domain admins to the local admin group.
