[djcrucial]

Is there anyway a domain user on the same pc have rights to manage a local pc.

It is not clear what you are asking. Please clarify what you want to do.

You can make a domain user a member of the local administrators group, if that's what you mean (run lusrmgr.msc).

I'd suggest making them a member of the Power Users group insterad and testing that they can change what they need to first. If they're still too restricted then try local admin rights.

Hope that helps,

I just ran into this the other day. In Windows XP, go to START | SETTINGS | CONTROL PANEL | ADMINISTRATOR TOOLS | COMPUTER MANAGEMENT | LOCAL USERS AND GROUPS. Go to groups if your domain has a local admin group or power user group on the domain. All you have to do is add the group so it has local rights to the pc ( if the employee's id is in the group you are all set). If you don't do groups in your domain, you can do the same steps above just this time do a find now for the user's id in the domain and add it to the pc as a local admin or a power user.

I knew how to do this in NT, but I am new to XP and had to have someone talk me thru the process.
