Dumb Question

[MQCarpenter]

I am adding a BDC to our domain using one of Dell's odd new Assistants. Now that the OS is installed, I am not given the option to log on LOCALLY. Can someone please humor me in getting into it locally, or access to local user manager while logged on to the domain? TIA

A BDC has no local SAM, rather it shares the SAM of the PDC. All changes made to the SAM are actually made on the PDC, even if you do the work on the BDC, and are replicated back to the BDC(s). So, basically, you can't log in locally.
