Notes

To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer, or you must have the appropriate authority. If the computer is joined to a domain, members of the Domain Admins group could perform this procedure. As a security best practice, consider using Run as to perform this procedure.

If you are using Active Directory integrated authentication, you must log on to the Active Directory domain, not the local computer, to perform this procedure.
