buenas tardes, tengo una consulta: existe alguna forma de restringir la pertenencia al grupo domain admins, es decir por ejemplo si yo soy administrador del dominio y quiero agregar otros usuarios como administradores de dominio, pero no quiero que estos usuarios puedan agregar otros usuarios como administradores de dominio. es decir que solo yo pueda definir quien puede pertenecer al grupo de administradores de dominio.   saludos. orlandop no, no se puede un administrador del dominio raíz tiene control sobre todos los grupos del dominio deberías ver si en lugar de hacerlos administradores, les puedes delegar las capacidades que necesiten   guillermo delprato - buenos aires, argentina visite notas windows server mvp-mct-mcse-mcsa mcitp: enterprise/server administrator mcts: active directory/network/applications configuration este mensaje se proporciona "como está" sin garantías de ninguna clase. usted asume todos los riesgos.
