I've just added two member servers running Windows Server 2012 R2 to my domain. I don't wish to use the domain administrator account itself to log into these two servers, but they should have administrative privileges. So I created an
account in Active Directory and added it to the Builtin Adminstrators group as well as the Domain Admins group. I can log into the new servers with that account, but I still receive prompts for admin credentials each time I attempt
to access anything that requires elevation. The weird thing is that I can simply retype the same credentials at the UAC prompt (the ones with which I just logged into the server) and they will be accepted. So, if I'm an administrator why is
it still prompting for admin credentials? I tried logging in as the domain admin account and those prompts do not appear. I even went as far as to individually add this new domain account to the server's local admin group but it has no effect.
Ultimately, I can do my job with this account, but it's a huge pain to have to type my user name and password any time I want to do something. Does anyone have any thoughts as to what might be causing this?
