    The server was just built and is on the domain. When we log in as the local administrator to the member server it seems as if it is passing the credentials to the DC (even though we are logging on locally to the member server) of our domain because if we log in to the local member server more than 2 times it locks the Domain Administrators account on the DC. I am wondering why it is passing the credentials to the DC when we are logging on locally to the member server?

         I don't understand. So you haven't joined the domain yet? Well that would be
         why the Domain Admins groups cannot login yet because the machine hasn't
         joined the domain yet. The Domain Admins group gets added to the local
         administrators group once you join the domain. Not sure if this answers your
         question because I am not sure what your question is ;)
