What a phenomenal video, even 5 years later it's helped me out. In my case, I ended up linking the policy to a security group to which the computer was applied to. Helped me out when installing complex software requiring service accounts to be local admins (but who's accounts I wanted to manage in AD).
Paul, Great content, your work is professional, clean to the point and remarkable, your videos are instructive and you show that what you are doing works... not those half ass channel that they just show you a few things and you do not even know it what they are doing / showing even work or they made a bunch of mistakes and you end up troubleshooting with them. My hat goes of to you. Congratulations Great channel, great content.
hi, I'm using windows srv 2019, and i created a gpo that disable/change passwoed local accounts(Administrator / Guess) but i cannot change the password its gray out, in group policy. can you give some advice
request: i need the policy to actually create the user as a local user named "LEET" and to add the to the admin group on the actual computer. any advice?
I don’t recall a native way of doing it but you should be able to do this with a script that creates the local account and adds it to the local admins group.
Hi Paul, your video saved me a lot of time and effort and do greatly appreciate all your videos. I followed step by step and confirmed the gpo was being pushed gpresult /r. But when group members login and to execute a "run as administrator" command" they're getting "This program is blocked by group policy" and I can't figure out why- we don't have app policy or anything that would blocking these users and not sure why this is happening. Your thoughts ?
Blake Northrup if you wanted to filter or scope it to a specific group yes that would work. In my video I want my server admins group to have admin rights to every server so that didn’t apply.
Hello, i have a question please. Can i login to some computer that recieve the policy like local admin? computer_name\djones - for example? Thank you, and best regards!
@@TheSysadminChannel thank you. After Microsoft disable to add local admin throw gpo. I find only 2 way to add local admin throw gpo. 1. Laps. 2. Logon powershell script. The 1 I don't know how to deploy. The 2 was very useful for me.
Not correct bro it's still Administrator on both Server and Client. I just want to add permission to that user only client user. When you remote to the server this user is full control on the server.
Son Vanchhai in my video I am only linking to an OU that has servers so it is only applying to servers. If that policy is being applied to clients it’s because you linked the GPO where there are client computers. On a client computer run gpresult and you will see that it’s getting applied. Also, This video is not the use case for what you’re trying to do.
@@TheSysadminChannel Server 2016 comes with a lot of restrictions for client users (who join the domain ). I want every manager of the OU as a Local administrator of the server. Please guide how can I achieve that.

Thanks for the awesome feedback Rommel. It’s very much appreciated
You are one of the best presenters.
Thanks for the awesome feedback!! Much appreciated
Thanks mate, great video, especially noting what not to do at the "Restricted Groups" section.
Thanks mate. i wanted to make that part clear so people watching this video don't go and mess things up.
Hi Thank you for the video, but how do I create a local admin user account on every client computer of my domain through GPO ?
Thanks for video support help!

Hi Paul, We Need to give admin privileges to prefetch and temp folder for particular domain users. Is it possible can you please help me.
is there a way yoou can push creation of local admins on the computers itself? not as a domain user but like the windows local admins.
I don’t recall a native way of doing it but you should be able to do this with a script that creates the local account and adds it to the local admins group.
Good tips video
Thanks mate. Cheers
Thank, an video very helpful.

Nice, but it didn't create a "local" admin account .\
Looks like it worked great than. It’s not intended to create anything. It’s used to just add the user as a local administrator
Don't you have to select delegation, and only add the selected group to filtering?

@@TheSysadminChannel Ah, makes sense.
Great, Thanks

This doesn’t change local users so you should be able continue to login as local user if they were able to login before

I don't want my users to control my servers. Bad idea.
I think you are making us fool dear
How can you apply a policy on a user which is defined for computer
sanjeev kumar the policy is scoped for computers.
Not correct bro it's still Administrator on both Server and Client. I just want to add permission to that user only client user. When you remote to the server this user is full control on the server.
