subject: hot to give a domain user local admin access posted: Sun, 12 Dec 2004 20:45:57 -0000
...ok, well I'm sure you folks with MCSEs will have a giggle at this,
but it took me a good deal of time to track down a solution, so I'll
share it ...
A customer with an NT4 server has acquired XP-based workstations.
Connecting them to the domain wasn't so hard - the problem arose when
they needed permanent administrative access on their workstations.
Anyway, to cut a long story short - to give an XP user admin access
over their machine, while still restricting them to their normal
access on the server, add their domain account to the local
administrators group.
