How to Allow Non-Root or Enterprise Administrators to Authorize RIS Servers in Active Directory

• Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter Server
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Server

SUMMARY

For Remote Installation Service (RIS) servers to begin to service clients, they must first be authorized by Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) by using the DHCP Management snap-in. However, only administrators of the root domain or members of the Enterprise Administrators group have the necessary permissions to do this.

MORE INFORMATION

If your organization requires that other users have these permissions or you want to delegate this task:

1. As an administrator of the root domain, start the Active Directory Sites and Services snap-in. On the View menu, click Show Services Node.



2. Click Services, and then click NetServices.



3. Right-click NetServices, click Properties, and then click the Security tab.



4. In the Security dialog box, assign the following permissions to the users or groups for which you want to authorize these servers: Read, Write, and "Create all Child objects."



5. Click Advanced. In the Access control Settings for NetServices dialog box, click the user or group you just added, and then click Edit on the View menu.



6. In the Apply onto box, click This object and All Child Objects.
