Administrator account 2008 server

[GraemeS]

Hi guys, maybe someone has an answer, have just completed a migrate from sbs2003 to a new box running sbs 2008, i am running Hyper-v with the parent running 2008 std, 1st virtual is sbs2008, 2rd virtual is 2008 second copy running sql.
The parent Administrator account is unable to install some features to some software, ie symantec licences to the protection suite, if you click the add licences dialog box its supposted to browse to the licence folder nothing happens at all, if you try a fresh user account with administrator rights it works fine, a clue could also be that UAC does not work on the administrator account but does on the temporary user account, also the Administrator account registry had old references to the old server that has since been demoted, the account just does not work correctly any thoughts on how to fix /replace it.Reinstall is not an option as its now a live system, the problem did not show up imediatley just once the migrate was complete and we started to install various software, its amost like the account does not realise it's a Administrator account at all, the parent is a member server in a workgroup with the sbs as the DC, and the SQQL as a member of the domain, the parent also has issues connecting to the SQL and can,t authenicate but all the clients attached to the SQL work fine
Many thanks

In my case I had to install items in the below order on the server, check if it works for you:

1. First try to install SAV Server on the server using the installation disc. Do not use the rollout tool from the disk to install to the server if the server is also going to host the Syamntec System Center Console.
2. Restart the server
3. Install the Admin Tools (Symantec System Center)
4. Restart the server
5. Start the server antivirus program (not Syamntec System Center Console SCC) and install the license by selecting View->Licensing from the menu
6. Open SCC
7. In the treeview, drill-down to your server name, right-click on the server and select "Make Primary Server" from the popup menu

For the clients

1. Open SCC
2. From the Tools menu, select ClientRemote Install
3. Follow the on-screen wizard to deploay AV to the clients
