Quoting steve <st...@greengecko.co.nz>:

New to this windows domain stuff, sorry ( at my age learning new stuff
can take a while ).

I've set up a domain and joined a couple of XP workstations to is and
all is fine. What I want to do now is to ensure that the users of these
PCs still have administrative rights on their PC's.

Can anyone show me the basics / point me to a good guide on how to do
this???

What I did was to create a new group "Desktop Administrators", and add that group to the local administrator group on each of my machines. I keep a master image for a lab machine and update it periodically, then copy it to the other machines. So an update to the local settings doesn't require running around to all machines.

Since we use LDAP to manage user/groups, adding/removing people from this new group is trivial.

I'm pretty new to all of this, so I'll be interested in hearing of any better solutions. But this one seems to work well.
