Computer Management local admin vs domain admin
Not exactly sure this is the right section for this question, but it does have to do with user accounts and permissions.
So, as standard practice, I use a normal user login as my daily work account, and have a separate login for a domain admin account (basically, something like "fwulf" as daily, "fwadm" as admin). And since I do a lot of software test installs, what I did is give my daily account local admin rights (through Computer Management > System Tools > Local Users and Groups > Groups > Administrators) so as to not make it annoying when the admin prompt pops.
Now the thing is, one of the functions of the Computer Management utility that I have to use more or less frequently is to have it connect to our file share server, and close out files that have been left open so that other users can get in them (and a specific Excel file getting special mention for needing this almost weekly).
The issue that I have is that if I open Computer Management as local admin, when I try to connect to the server, it does not prompt me for credentials, and thus, while it does connect, when I click on System Tools > Shared Folders > Open Files, it will fail and give me a permission error. The only way that I can do this right now, is to remove my local admin rights, re-login, and start the CM as admin, thus allowing me to enter my domain admin credentials (and reverse it once I'm done).
So the question is: How can I get the credentials prompt when I connect to the server while still keeping my local admin rights on my daily account so that I don't need to remove/put back myself from the local group.
