Re: Administrator and Adminisrators

I have found at least two apps which can be installed only by LOCAL

in the same group of Local Administrators.

So question is what is the difference between these two accounts
and where it has been defined? I know that theoretically these
accounts should be equal in rights. I have studied also domain
policies but did not found a place where these differences are
defined.

And in this case the name of account is not the case, the only
difference is that one account is local user the second is domain
user.

The apps that are not working are famous Daemon tools (CD emulator)
and Alcohol 120% (also CD emulator).

Your testing is incorrect or there is something else going on.
I have installed these on MANY machines as a Domain Admin account on a
system.

What that means is that my account was a domain administrator putting it in
the local administrators group of the machine.

In other words...

Start button --> RUN --> cmd --> OK

net localgroup administrators

and "Domain Admins" is listed there as a member of the local
'Administrators' group.

And I had no issue installing either of the applications you have referred
to in this posting.
