I have set up a machine, and the main user (not the
administrator) is set up to belong to a domain. I have
set up the user to have administrator rights, which, when
you review the user, it shows up in the administrator
group. However, I cannot get the domain user granted
local machine admin rights. When trying to grant the user
local admin rights, I cannot see the domain. Not sure I
explained this well. Has anyone else encountered this?
Any thoughts on what to try? Strange problem....

Thanks in advance if you have any thoughts.

If this is a W2k or later domain, then make certain
that the client machine is configured to use only the
DNS servers that support the Active Directory.
 
The client machine is running WinXP PRO, the
ActiveDirectory Domain is running on Win2k. As I said, I
don't think I explained it well. Client machine has 2
users defined....
Administrator (local machine admin), and USERA, which is
set up to run in the network domain. USERA has been
granted administrator rights, however, when I go into
ComputerManagement, and Users and Groups, I cannot assign
this domain user into the local machine administrator
group....only the local USERA can be put into the local
administrator group. Therefore, when USERA is logged into
the domain, they cannot run applications that require
local admin rights.
