Added ADMIN as a trustee of a Sub-Container (_SERVICES)

Have now lost Admin privileges.

Unable to remove the Admin trustee from the Sub-Container.

How to reinstate full Admin rights?

Netware 5.1 SP2

Thanks in anticipation

Restore admin rights to the root of the tree first. If you do not have a
backdoor admin then you need MakeSu or another way to create a new admin or
you reinstall.

Oh, Patch to SP6 when you fix the admin problem.

Give a second user admin rights at the root of your tree. This user
should be able to administrate the OU and let you remove the bad admin
trustee.

What was done to fix the problem was to change the rights of the public
object to all rights which gave the admin (and all users) all rights, from
this point we were able to delete the admin from the trustee list and then
the public object was reset back to it's original settings.

This may have been caused by a making someone equal to Admin at some point.

As Marcel suggests, you need a second Admin with full rights at the root of
the tree and no equal to loose in the network. The second Admin should be
written down with it's password and locked away in a safe location.
