Administrator can't change security



I have two Windows Server 2003 R2 servers setup. One is the domain
controller. Both administrator accounts have the same password. On my
server that is not the domain controller, when I join the domain, the
administrator account cannot change any of the security settings for
any of the folders.

This happens if I set the administrator's login domain to the domain
controller or to the local computer. When I remove the second server
from the domain and return it to a workgroup, the administrator account
can make changes to the security settings.

This second server was upgraded from a Windows Server 2000 by inserting
the 2003 R2 CD. Why can I not make changes to any of the folder
security settings after the computer joins the domain?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
