I have installed SQL Server 2008 R2...

I was logged in as a user who is assigned as local admin (in the list of local admin).

But still I don't have all the admin privileges, why ?

I installed the sql server as mixed mode...I am able to login as sa...but I need this specific user to work like sa...

any advise ?

connect to management studio using windows login and check if sa login is enabled by clicking its properties

It is enabled, like I mentioned ,I installed the SQL Server with mixed mode.
Yes right click gives me the info that is is enables and grant all the privileges.

Same for the other user that I am talking about.

I am just thinking that sql server doesn't work for local admin and only work for domain admin - it that correct or no ?

what to look and where to look ? please advise...

What was your login when you were installing SQL server.If you had logged in as a domain user then the domain user will get admin rights for the sql on the local machine and sql will have only those rights on the network which your domain login has.If you had looged in as a local machine user then that user would get the admin rights for sql server.

After Monday and Tuesday even the calendar says W T F ....

The problem I am talking about is "System Center Configuration Manager"
For installing that problem, SQL Server 2008 is required.
So as a prerequisite, it is checking the sql server and telling me that I don't have enough permission.
