Adding network user to local admin group

Sorry if this is a problem, I need a fix.

Strange problem. I have some XP Pro machines on which I'm trying to add
network accounts to the local admin group. For some reason, I can only add
local user accounts. It doesn't seem to be showing the Active Directory,
only the local machine. The Domain\Domain Admins group is listed as a
member of the local admin group, and when I log in as a domain admin, I have
admin privilages. I can log in with the network user accounts, though they
have no local admin privileges.

I've tried using the domain admin account, and the local admin account.
I've tried removing the computer from the domain and rejoining it.

Any ideas?

Hi, Jeff.

newsgroup.

No. This has been multi-posted. That means you have posted the same (or
similar) message to more than one group, one group at a time. To crosspost,
you must put multiple newsgroup names in the Newsgroups box of a single
message. Then that same message will appear in all those groups, but when I
read it in one group, it will be marked Read - for me - in all of them and I
won't read it several times. The payoff for you is that all the responses
will appear in a single coherent thread - in each of the groups. You won't
need to check all the groups to see all the responses. And, wrong or
incomplete answers in one group can be corrected or expanded by readers in
another group.

I'm sorry I can't help with your real question. I'm just one guy with one
computer and I know nothing of networks or domains.
