Ive been directed to make a user an administrator on their local machine but
not allow them to access administrative areas on the network. So far all my
attempts have been unsuccessful. Is there any way to do this and if so how?

Thanks
 
Add that users domain user account to the local administrators group on his
machine via Computer Management/local users and groups. --- Steve
 
I tried that but i dont see a place to do it. When i use local users and
groups it doesnt show any of the domain accounts. Am i doing something
wrong?

Ok , right click on My computer - manage.
Navigate your way to local users and groups and double click on the
administrators group.
Click Add - Advanced - Find now
You should now have a list of the user accounts in the domain so pick the
one you want
 
Thanks i was trying to do it backward.

you need to do this from the local machine logged on as an
adminstrator.
rt click my computer
manage
local users and groups
groups or users
administrators or choose user
add or member of - add administrator
hope offering both alternatives isn't too confusing - santo
