When I log in to my WHS 2011 using remote desktop, am I at that point administrator or just a user? I logged in remotely the first time and had to enter my credentials, but now whenever I log in remotely, I don't have to log in anymore by enterring credentials, it just goes straight to the server desktop.

I need to open or run an mp4 file via ffmpeg in cmd on the server, and whenever I run it, I got some kind of msg saying "moob atom not found" and "Operation not permitted" which sounds like I need administrator privileges. It's a headless server as it is right now.

Dunno but did you see this?

Try to change a setting in control panel to see if you've got admin rights but that doesn't sound like the problem.


It seems that the different conversion tools I was using weren't transcoding properly. I decided to try ripbot264 and that seems to work. I also switched media servers and tried out Plex (the newest beta) and it works awesome. No problems on install or setting it up and it's updating my libraries correctly. Thanks for the info though!
