It's pretty standard to not have domain admin and sometimes not even machine admin. But, you have to have enough privileges to set up the things you need to set up. Best thing to do, go and talk to them. Make it clear you don't want to have full access, but show, through documentation, that you don't have adequate privs now. Also, any time you can't do something, and be sure you really can't do it, then just let your boss know, "Oops. Hit a snag. Limit on privs. I'm on to another task." They're going to wonder why you don't have necessary access.
