        Elden_Christensen I have tried the work around mentioned and I am still having the problems after rebooting the computer and signing in with the new Admin Account.  I am running Sever 2019 Datacenter Evaluation version 10.1.17763 Build 17763.

    Look at this, it was a server policy that needs to be modified. Resolved for me .. (https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/fb3bad72-82fb-4d74-9777-ddff71692707/domain-administrator-no-permissions-local-admin-has-permissions? forum = win10itprogeneral)

      The problem is happened on 2019, if you use the "administrator" Account as primary Admin-Account (after Domain Join). Create a new user and apply the admin-groups and you will have no error.

        This was the fix for me. Just spun up a VM on 6.7, Server 2019 Standard.

        After adding AD and elevating to a DC the local admin no longer functions as an elevated admin within the domain. 

        Copy local administrator account, rename to what you need and reboot. 

        Problem staying solved,

    Yes, that's correct...I need to find the old Control Panel (Old GUI).

    It does not allow to change the NIC settings from the Start Menu > Settings gear icon (Win10 GUI) or right clicking from the NIC icon at the task bar.
