RE: [ActiveDir] Adding Helpdesk Group to Local Admin Group

[Narkinsky, Brian]

The easiest way I’ve found  to do it is have a GPO that runs a batch file on startup.    net localgroup Administrators /ADD helpdesk   We’ve also written some _vbscript_s that adds a local account and makes it a member of the administrators group.   We feed the password as a parameter from the GPO so we can change the password and always have a local admin account that we know the password to but, can change that password periodically.     Brian               Brian Narkinsky System's Analyst Florida Department of Environmental Protection Tallahassee, FL 32399 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Salandra, Justin A.
