Creating User Accounts with Active Directory

In module 2 lab I can’t get past this screen when I change the password. The lab accepts my new password then gives me a sign-in button, I click the sign-in button I get the screen that is shown. How do I resolve this?

This is because your user account doesn’t have the Domain Admins role. This is why it cannot log in to the domain controller.

How did you fix this issue?

Once user is created:

  1. Right Click on user name and select Properties
  2. Select tab Memeber Of and click Add
  3. Enter Domain Admins and click Check Names
    This will underline Domain Admins and click OK then click OK again
No one responds!

Thanks for helping us resolve the issue.

I do want to ask if you can explain to me the logic behind adding user to another OU called Domain Admins actually helped logging in.

Under my Server Academy OU, I created 3 sub OUs

Domain Admins
Domain Users > Paul Ma
Member Servers

How is it that adding user Paul Ma to another OU named Domain Admins can actually resolved abovementioned “The sign-in method you’re trying to use isn’t allowed…”??
Is there a hidden feature behind the name of Domain Admins allows this?
For example,

Hi @mapowing

Is not the Domain Admins OU but the Group Membership. The user needs to be part of the Domain Admins group.
