Script for changing users to admin's

[Chris]

Is there a script that can be put into the logon script
that will change users from users to administrator group?

Chris-

Do you want users to be in the local Administrator's group or a domain based
administrative group (Domain Admins, Administrators, etc.)?

By definition, no.

Logon scripts run in the security context of the user. If you could put
such code into a login script, then your users would also be able to do
exactly the same thing.

You could try the following in a computer startup script applied using Group
Policy:

net localgroup administrators interactive /add

This will make all users logging on at the console administrators, if you
really wish to do that.

Domain based Admin.

Chris-

If you really want all of your users to be admins, no need to have a logon
script run every time they log on to add them to the group. Instead, add
them once and leave them there. A simple script can be created to add the
users to the Domain Admins group and you can run it from time to time as you
add users.

However, I highly recommend that you avoid adding your users to the Domain
Admins group (or any domain based admin group that has permissions
throughout your enterprise).
