DNS Management on a DC for non-domain admins We have a few users who are not domain admins that need to manage dns on a domain controller. The dns is for another domain so it is not always an option to run the dns admin console on their PCs. We have added them to the DNSAdmins group and to a group that is allowed to remote desktop to the dcs, but they are unable to manage DNS. When they launch the application they get a red warning icon. Do these users need to be in other groups to manage dns on the domain controllers? thanks, Frank
Hi, What happens when they try to launch the DNS snap-in from their own PC, not using RDP.

They get the same warning icon when running the DNS snap-in from their own PCs. They are members of the DNSAdmins group, but DNS is running on our dcs so I am not sure if that is the problem.
