make one group a member of another

[Guest]

I need to make the domain users group a member of the local admin group on
my windows 2000 pro. - SP4 pc. Not sure how to accomplished this.


NOTE: Basically make all of my users (domain users) who log onto the
windows 2000 server on certain PCs a member of the local admin group of the
affected PCs.

If that is what you really want to do, then open up the Local Users and
Computers Management Console [ lusrmgr.msc and select groups] on that server
and add domain users to the administrators local group. There are ways to
automate this if the number of computers are large. There are often work
around [not always] to applications that will run only when the user is a
local administrator. You want to avoid making users local administrators
whenever possible. -- Steve

Actually, one would do this on the Pro machine and there add the
domain group to the machine local administrators group of the Pro
If the domain group does not already exist, that is done with dsa.msc
(Users and Computers tool) on or targetting the domain, defining the
group and adding accounts to it.
Steve, I think you overlooked OP's mention of this being on W2k Sp3 Pro

Hi Roger.

Well I was a bit confused as he said logon to server so I was assuming he
had a domain member server that he wanted these users to logon to as local
administrators for some reason and some workstations. After reading again
the "logon to server" probably meant "logon to the domain" hence my
confusion and subsequent answer as domain member servers of course have a
lusrmgr.msc as do workstations. --- Steve
