help! local administrator rights issues

[Tony]

I am an account operator and delegated admin at my office. We use the EVO
T20 series Thin Clients with Windows NT & XP Embedded. Upon install of the
Embedded OS the Domain Admin group is added to the Local Admin group of the
Thin Client. When I log on my profile and my mapped home drive are stripped,
leaving no admin access to these clients. My user object is not in the
Domain Accounts group (and will not be added) yet I am an administrator that
needs to have local admin rights to these machines, in order to install and
configure for our users.
My question I guess is how do I go about working around this?

Thanks to all those who can help or point me in the right direction for
receiving help on this.

Tony,

Evo T20/T30 have a documented feature of logging in to Administrator account
(I guess "admin" is a password but I don't recall that). You may want to
take a look at the documentation that goes with the device. The
Administrator account has a mention in the docs. (or your may doload the
docs from Compaq/HP website).
From the Administrator account you may do more things on the device.

I actually have done just that, I have a logon for a local admin. I
apologize, I am now reading the way I worded my dilemma. The problem was
that I needed to be on the network to add my user account to the local
admins group without the Domain Admin coming in and doing this on each thin
client that I stage or pilot. To do this of course you need to be on the
network with admin rights. My account has just that,+ but on these Thin
Clients with Windows Embedded my admin rights were being stripped.
I have since found that if I log on as the local admin and browse the
network for the resources I need, I can then 'login as' my credentials and
all is well. Still an issue but a less pressing one today.
Thanks for your help.
