Domain accounts in Windows 8.1
I have a tablet with Windows 8.1 pre-installed.  I have joined the domain where I work and added a domain user account.  I assigned Administrator privileges to the account (with the control panel on the local machine), but I can't access some files.  The file properties say that the local administrator group has full control, but my domain account is refused access.  How do I assign administrator privileges on the local machine for a domain user?  Or, how do I include a domain account in the local administrator group?

Hi,

Did you mean to add the domain account under Computer management as below?

If so, the domain account should have the permission to access the files of which Admin has full control.

Would you please let me know what files your domain account fail to access? Please help to list some.

Also, I suggest you use the Process Monitor to capture the system event when you repro this issue.
