Domain Users rights on local machine

[Guest]

By default what (local Machine) rights are given to a Domain User that logs onto a XP Pro machine. And if possible can I give all Domain Users Power Users Access, if yes how so? Also, is a Domain Admin given Administrative access when he/she logs on to the same box?

From what I've been able to tell, with my own setup, is
that you have to explicitly give administrator privilages
over a local machine to a domain user. If you log in as
a domain user, go to Control Panel-->User Accounts and
add the domain user with Other/Administrator privilages.

It will tell you that you need to logoff and logon for
the changes to take effect. If you only want to give
Power User access, that is a choice in the "Other" group
membership property. Hope this helps.

The domain Users are just members of the Users group. If you want to make
them Power Users open the Computer Management applet, select Local users &
groups -> groups -> Power Users and add to the list of members the Domain
Users group for your domain.

the same box?

yes, because when you join a computer to a domain the Domain Admins group is
made member of the Local Administrators group. Any domain admin becomes
therefore an admin on the computer.
