is there a way to permit a user who log's onto a domain as a simple user to
have administrator rights over his local computer (as a administrator), and
user rights over domain?
i mean this in the same session, not to logoff, logon locally as a admin.
when he logs onto the domain, he gets user right, but in the same time he
can install programs, instal drivers, delete files, share folders, see ntfs
permission etc

To make a domain user an administrator of the local PC:
From the PC right click My computer and select "Manage". Expand local users
and groups - highlight "groups" on the left pane and right click on the
Administrators group in the right pane and select "add to group. Click Add.
On the resulting screen use the dropdown box beside "look in" to select your
domain. Select the users domain account from this list and click OK. To
verify you are using the users domain account and NOT their local account,
the user's account should be listed as "Domain\username" and not "username".
Ok your way out.

Now this user is an Admin on the local computer and a "user" as far as the
domain is concerned.

Add the users account to the local administrator's group
on the workstation. That way regardless of the rights he
has in the domain, he is an administrator over his
workstation.
Right click on My Computer
choose manage
Choose LocalUsers and Groups
Click on Groups
Double click on the Administrators group
Click add
Change to the Domain
Select the users account
Click OK

The next time that user logs on to that computer he is an
administrator over that workstation.
