Title: Multiple Admins?
Post by: lchelpdesk on September 16, 2005, 11:12:09 PM

Is there any way to "add" admins? I have several machines running SME 6.0.1 now in my school, and I am quite pleased with it. One of the boxes is a full domain controller, file server, etc. for my student network. I want to grant a few select teachers the right to reset a student password, but I don't want to give them the admin password. I could log in to the server-manager, and click "save password" in the browser session, but that opens up several security nightmares. I've searched the forums and contribs for help, but I'm stumped. Help?

Hi - dungog has a contrib for this:

Good Luck!

Once again, I find that someone has already gone down the road I am travelling and solved my problem before I got there.

Thanks for the link, the Dungog site has some other helpful things, too.
