well if you don't trust your users, and in most cases you shouldn't ;) You can set-up a group policy for that user on the local machine. Might take a bit of configuration though, hence I would go with the quick and dirty local rights.

Nice to know we are still willing to assist those that send out 12-line
disclaimers on their mail!
Anyway, the "local" vs "domain" is probably not the issue here. Making Joe
User a local admin should keep the domain recourses "safe". However, he is
still free to cause serious damage to the local machine, and I believe this
is the concern of the original post.
A local "account manager" can add a workstation to a domain and remove it
afterward. Might an account manager be able to change IP information as
well (or could it be granted under advanced user rights)?
