RIP_User.SetAdmin

Sometimes it's advantageous to give an individual who is not the Tech Liaison the power to install software, troubleshoot, etc. Business teachers, Department Tech Coaches, etc. To avoid giving out the local Administrator password, do the following:


 * 1) Login to the server, open the Deployment Console
 * 2) Right-click on the machine(s) on which the user's BCPS login should function as a local Administrator, and select "Execute" from the drop-down menu. //The machines must be online and active. If not, create a new job instead!//
 * 3) Enter the following script: **cusrmgr -alg Administrators -u BCPS\username ** where //**username**// is the BCPS login of the desired "local Administrator"

NOTE: It may be necessary for the individual to restart the machine if they're logged in at the same time the script is running before their username will function as a local Admin.

ERROR Troubleshooting: If the machine notifies them (printer installation, etc.) that they need to be a local Admin--they can login with their BCPS username and password, and it should proceed with the installation.

NOTE 2: Users' BCPS logins can also be manually set as the Administrator of a single machine. > From "**Start**," select "**Settings**" and then "**Control Panel**" > //You may be asked for the local Administrator login password. Email your Tech Liaison for assistance.//
 * 1) //You can do this while the user is logged in!//
 * 1) Double-click on "**Users**"
 * 1) Click //"//**Add**"
 * 2) Enter the user's BCPS login, and then enter **BCPS** as the "Domain," click "**Next**"
 * 3) Select the third radio button "**Other**," and make sure the drop-down is set to give them "**Administrator**" privileges.
 * 4) Click "**Finish**" and then "OK" to close the users window.
