I am trying to make certain users/groups automatically a local administrator
on their pc. Currently, I log in as admin on the pc and add their domain
acc. to the local admins group, but if they then use a different machine or
a new user starts I have to keep repeating it. I've had a look through my
domain policy settings and I can't see one that would enable me to do this -
any pointers?
Thanks
James.
 
James,

I might ask why you would want to make the domain user account objects
members of the workstations local Administrators group? I would typically
advise against this. 'Power Users' might be a better solution.

Take a look at the GPO for Restricted Users.'

HTH,

Cary

Thanks to the two of you for the response. From looking at power users it
says they can install programs that do not modify o/s files or services, and
I believe this may cause a problem for what a few people need to do. I'll
try power user first as you suggest, I do agree it would be a "neater"
solution!
