rights to his own local machine ?

Thanks in advance

Log in as a domain admin, and add the domain user to the local
administrators group on the workstation.

Domain admin tolds me I can do this without logging in as
domain admin .

I can log as admin to my local machine but wants to stay a
domain user with administrative rigths to my own machine
and user rigth in the domain....

OK - then log in as local admin, go to control panel, users, and add the
domain user account to administrators then - you'll need to browse to the
domain for the context, tho. I have never tried to do this with a local
account, so I don't know whether it works - try it!

In either case, you will need a Domain account that has the rights to add a
domain user to a local group. AFAIK, It's best if you just log on as a
domain admin, run compmgmt.msc and add the dude to the local admins group.

I believe I have added a domain user to the local admin group by using an
local admin account. I don't believe you can browse the domain, so you'll
have to manually type domain\username to add it. Not 100% sure about that,
though, I did it a while ago.
