Server 2008 Administrator permissions

Hello,

On a Windows Server 2008 DataCenter edition box, we've made a new user
called ServerAdmin and put it in the Administrators Group. Now, the original
Administrator account works fine, but the ServerAdmin account has issues. If
you right click on My Computer and try to go to Manage, it says permission
denied. If you simply try to open the C drive, it says permission denied.
Yet, I can go into the properties of the C drive and change them, after
assigning ownership to the Administrators group. But even after changing the
ownership (and yes Administrators group has full control on the drive) I get
the permission denied error when trying to access the drive.

Since the original Admin account seems fine, it must be require something
other than simply assigning users to the administrators group and having
them act the same or what?


Any help is appreciated!

I was able to get around the errors by disabling the security option "User
Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode".

But why am I getting actual Errors and Permissions warnings, it is supposed
to prompt me to "Continue".. something still doesn't seem right.
