FTP on Domain Controller

In order for a Domain Controller, hosting IIS, to accept FTP the user must be in the Admin group. Well, unless you do this:

 

for FTP access to a Domain Controller that user is NOT in admin group

start/programs/admin tools/LOCAL Security policy.

Open up local policies

Open up User rights assignments

Open up Log on Locally

add your ftp user/group and put a check in the box for it.

 

So, if you add an Active Directory group named FTPusers then anyone you assign memebership to that AD group will then be able to FTP to the DC's FTP sites without being in the Admin group.
