I've got a network of 5 or 6 pcs setup for data sharing. The machine that was admin crashed and had to be formatted. None of the other machines were setup as admin. The reformatted machine has been able to join, but i can't remove the old one from the network as it was the only pc that was admin. Is there any other way to make another machine admin, or delete it from the list?
Unfortunately, there is no way to restore admin rights in this case.
for future, you can save this registry branches:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Famatech\RadminVPN\1.0 (for x86)
or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Famatech\RadminVPN\1.0 (for x64)
Find this branch in registry and make a right click.
Open Permission - Advanced - Ok
Choose Owner - press Other.
Add Windows user - Apply - Ok. Return ot the same window. Add your user (use Add button), mark checkboxes Allow - Apply - Ok
Save IPv4 IPv6 and RID.
