I am adding new laptops into an existing domain and recently (within last 6 weeks or so) every time I try to add a new laptop to the local domain the local account I created at startup gets changed to a standard account as do all the others I've tried. When I join to the domain with a legit account and give them Administrator rights, it creates the account but without Admin level rights. I've checked the local GP Policies and they are all set to default. This just started happening so not sure if it's update related or not. As long as I don't join the PC to the domain, any local account I create keeps the Admin level privileges, As soon as it joins domain, it changes. I've looked at the policies on the server and can't find anything that stands out that would cause this. Since I've been able to do this routinely until about 4-5 weeks ago, I think it's an update issue. I can't find anything on the Microsoft site that offers anysort of hint. This is now effecting machines that have been on the network in that the Admin level gets wiped on their machines. Even the domain Admin account show up as a Standard account. :( I've tried build 1909, 2004 and 20H2 and they are all exhibiting the same behavior.
Anyone have any ideas (or better yet - experienced this already and know a fix) ??? Been working this for days and it's getting frustrating as I have users that can't even do a driver update because of this issue.
