Resolution

fact
Directory and Resource Administrator 6.40

symptom
Error: 'Assistant Admin does not have enough power to run computer create operations'.

symptom
Admin Assistants cannot create a computer account in a Windows NT 4 domain if the ActiveView exception 'Do not allow computer to be added to group or moved to OU' is enabled.

cause
In a Windows NT 4 domain, DRA should ignore the ActiveView exception 'Do not allow computer to be added to group or moved to OU', because there are only domains in a Windows NT 4 domain, and computers cannot be a part of any OU.  In 6.4, DRA does not ignore the rule and generates an error when the exception is enabled.

fix

As a workaround, do not select the Do not allow computer to be added to group or moved to OU exception.  There is no reason to turn this exception on when managing a NT4 domain. Upgrade to DRA version 6.5 or later.  These versions ignore this exception for managed NT4 domains.
