I am trying to create a group policy where I can assign
users local admin rights on their machine. I am running
W2K as DC, and clients are on XP. Any help?
 
Restricted groups is the answer, but the process is not obvious.
Search this newsgroup or Microsoft's Knowledgebase for adding local
administrators through Group Policy. In a nutshell, you'll group the
target machines in an Organization Unit and add a security group to
that OU containing the intended local administrators. Then, on a
member server or workstation with the Admin Tools installed, you'll go
to Retricted Groups and add administrators, and then add that new
local admin security group to the administrators. A lot of steps in
two different locations, but it works.
