Other than RTS'ing to the PC remotely with an administrative id, is there any
way to add a user to the "Power Users" group and then later, remove the user
from the "Power Users" group? For example, is there anyway of causing net
localgroup to run on the remote PC? We are running in a non-AD domain
environment.

Non-Scripted:
Connect to the remote system dive with an administrative level user... in
other words....
net use X: \\remotemachine\c$
and use an administrative username/password on said machine. This gives you
the context you need to manage it. Then right-click on your "My Computer"
icon and choose "Manage". Then change the machine you are managing to the
remote one and you can do what you wish with local users/groups on that
machine.
 
Thanks
