SYMPTOMS
========

When you attempt to access an administrative network share (for example, C$, D$,
etc..) you may receive the following error message:

  The user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer.

This behavior may occur even if you are logged on as a Domain Administrator on
any server in the domain.

CAUSE
=====

This behavior can occur if the Domain Administrators group has been removed from
the Local Administrators group on the validating domain controller.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this issue, at the primary domain controller, add the administrator
account to the local administrators group, and then synchronize the domain.
