My experience with Microsoft says that it is probably not the same thing to be
logged in as a domain administrator and as the Administrator.
As usual, Microsoft seems to have complicated things even more with every

Directory, then you may need to run Bacula under a Domain Admin userid rather
than SYSTEM.
