Joining a Domain using a Domain User Credential
3
Many large companies do not want to use the Administrator account to
join the ADS domain. They prefer to delegate a normal domain user
account with special rights to join the domain. The purpose of this
section is to provide an example of delegating a normal domain user
account with special rights to join the domain.
To facilitate this example, the following information is assumed:
• The ADS is running on a Windows 2003 Server system
• ADS domain name: abc.def.xyz.com
• "user1" is a normal domain user that has basically no
administrative privileges
• The server host name is DX1.
• DNS domain name: abc.def.xyz.com
• DNS IP address: 10.20.30.40

Steps to complete on the Windows 2003 MMC:
a
Delegate the right to join the domain
• Select the domain name abc.def.xyz.com
• Right click and choose: "Delegate Control" | Next | Add
• Type the username: user1
• OK | Next
• Delegate the following common tasks
• Join a computer to the domain
Note:
When the system is joined to the
Active Directory
domain
all the share security is managed by the
MMC
(Microsoft
Management Console) that is running on the domain
controller. By default, when a CIFS share is created the
default security setting is to allow access for all users. Any
access restriction on individual users will have to be
managed from the
MMC
.
