How to add domain user to local admin group?

[Carlton Whitmore]

I need to add a domain user to the admin group on the
local domain for his PC. How can I do that remotely? I'm
able to manage his PC, but if I go to users and groups it
doesn't prompt me for the domain name. I've don't this
before, where the heck is it?

Computer Management|System Tools|Local Users and
Groups|Groups|Administrators|Add, then use "Location" to select a user from
the domain.

Depending on the OS, (I'll assume Windows 2000 Professional joined to your
domain), you will want to go to "Local Users and Groups" and then select
"Groups" then select "Administrators" and then add. If the system is
joined to the domain, you should be able to click on add and resolve the
username you wish to add.

If you install PStools from sysinternals you can do it by using this
command

psexec \\Computername net localgroup administrators domain\domainuser
/add
