fix

In order for Directory and Resource Administrator to be able to manage the SAM of a member server, the member server would have to be added as a managed object in DRA. 

For information on how to add a Member server to be managed by DRA, refer to the following KB:

How can a member server be added to Directory and Resource Administrator for local security database management?

note

When adding a member server to be managed by DRA, the following should be considered:

• User accounts on the member server will be counted towards licensing.
• DRA will perform cache refreshes against any managed member server.  In the case of a large number of member servers being set to be managed by DRA, a cache refresh would be run for every member server which could impact performance.
