Hello chaps,
That article is, in short, about troubleshooting adding a new CC4 domain controller or member server to an existing network (using the smartclient process) - thats the sort of work thats normally only carried out by RM engineers, or Support Partners/Local Authorities (which is why the permissions on it limit access to those people). Is that what you're having problems with? Its not normally the kind of thing I'd expect a network manager to be doing.
Am happy to either sort the permissions (or get your access checked) if thats the right thing to do here. Have you called support? Feel free to PM me if you want to discuss further ...
Scott
