Is there any easy way to give every domain login (there are 50) local admin rights to all windows xp pro (15 PCs)?

Thanks
Jay
 
Create a group called "workstation admins" (or a name of your choosing), add all the user accounts to that group.
Either set a group policy, or individually go to each PC and add the "workstation admins" as local admins.
I'd prefer this method over setting all users as "Domain admins" or something, because there's no way you'd want all users to have full control of the domain. And this prevents them from having admin access to any servers.
There's probably a few more ways to accomplish this as well.
 
I figure you can probally set up a group with those specific settings the put all the users you wish to have that in the group.
 
Thanks for your answer, one more question. Where on the pc do I add the "workstation Admin" as a local admin?
