Fix
The EAAdminConfig utility is located in the directory to which the Directory and Resource Administrator (DRA) server component was installed. This utility can be used to add or remove a user or group to the Built-in Admin (DRA 6.x versions) or DRA Admins (DRA 7.x and later versions) Assistant Admin group from the command prompt.
To add a user account to the Built-in Admin/DRA Admins Assistant Admin group, perform the following steps on the Primary DRA server computer:
- From the command prompt, change directory to the installation directory (i.e. c:\Program Files\NetIQ\DRA)
- Enter the command:
EAAdminConfig /add domain_name\userid. - Hit the Enter key.

EAAdminConfig /remove domain_name\userid. - Hit the Enter key.
Note
The MCS OnePoint Administration Server service (for DRA 6.x versions)/NetIQ Administration Service (for DRA 7.x and later versions) must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
