Admin rights on only 1 workstation

[DS]

Hi,

One more question. In the mixed NT/Win2K domain I administer, there is one
particular NT4 workstation that we would like one of the users to have
administrator privileges on, but only that PC, not the entire domain.

I've done mostly Win2K work and not a lot of NT so please bear with me a
moment.

'Username' has Administrative rights on the workstation local domain.
'Username' does not have admin right on the domain. What was the logical
thing to try was to go into the AD of the DC, find the Workstation object,
and add 'Username' as an administrator. In my eyes, I thought this would
work. If 'Username' signs on to the domain from PC1, he would be given
admin rights on that PC. Apparently that was not the way it works.

Could someone possibly point me in the right direction ?

Thanks,

Dan S.

Logon to the NT4 workstation with a domain administrator account
Start usermanager on that computer and make sure you get the local info and
not domain info
Add the domain user account to the local administrators group on the NT4
workstation
