adding administrator rights to a user not on network

[elizatesting]

I use my windows 2000 PC for office and home. I am now
going to let my daughter use it at university. She is not
on the office network. I want her to have administrator
rights when she uses the PC aways from home. I have found
out how to add admion rights if she was on the office
network but cannot find out how to add these rights for
users not on the network. I still want to keep my own
profile with admin rights on the PC.

Thanks
Eliza

Hi,

Create your daughter separate local account on the computer. Right click on
My Computer and click Local Users and Groups. Right click Users container
and click "New User". Give her a username and password. Now make sure that
you add her account to Administrator group. You can do it by first clicking
on Groups container and then double click on Administrators. Click on Add
button and search for her account and add it to the group.

If your computer is part of domain then she will have to select Logon to:
Mike (this computer) where Mike is name of your computer. Again if your
computer is part of domain and you don't take if to office LAN it will lose
its connection to domain after 30 days. You will still be able to use
outside of domain, but if you will want to have it back in domain you will
probably have to remove it from domain first and then add it back in...
