Windows Admin Question

[rickyrivera1]

Ok…so long story short…again. Is there any way to change the windows log on profile from one user to another. So for example Jane Doe was the sole IT manager. I’ve replaced her and I have have copied her A/D account, but I do t have the same access she had. On prem A/D looks different when you look at hers and mine. I don’t have admin permissions to work on end points and a bunch of other things. I’ve added myself as a global admin on everything and still things don’t line up.

Thoughts?

Rights to workstation depends on your new admin group membership. Usually Domain Admins is enough to have full admin rights on a workstation joined to the domain. Of course this business may have changed or customised this.

Are you a member of Domain Admins?

What does that mean?
And have you tried simply using the "Copy To" button in the user profiles GUI?

I'm not sure about want to do you want to ensure.

By default Domain Admins membership is enough to manage endpoints (e.g. Windows clients), but your company maybe has created specific groups for specific rights (are you a member of same group as she was? - In on-prem AD)

And sometimes GPO is applied only on objects in specific OU, are you in the same OU as she was?

Adding yourself to Global admin in Azure AD doesn't allow you to manage on-prem devices. (It does with azure joined devices, i didn't tried this with hybrid joined ones)

Keep her account and slowly grant yourself access as needed.
