Making Domain Users local administrators

[jlong07]

Hello,

I am very new at network administration, and I am trying to figure out how to do something that seems like it should be easy. I just installed a new primary domain controller running Server 2003 and I am trying to set the user permissions to allow domain users to have full administrator rights on their local machines. I want to maintain limited rights on the server and other machines, but I want them to be able to make any changes on their own workstation that they need to. Again, I am very new at all this so a complete explanation of the process would be appreciated. Thank you.

Jason

Hello Jlong07

I assume that the clients workstation is w2k.

On the client:
Click start->settings->control panel->users and groups.
Click the "add" button.
Username: The users name on the domain
Domain: your domainname
when this is done click next
In this dialogbox chose what role the user is assigned on the local machine. That should do the trick.
