I normally just can bring a domain user to a local machine and give them local admin rights for a wierd program we need to run. Now I have a large number to have to do this on a few machines, they are all in a single group. Is there a way to bring a domain group, instead of just a domain user to the local machine and give them admin rights?
thanks,
Daniel

Can't you just add the domain group name which all the users are under on to each workstation as a user?

Nope you can't just add it as a user, but I did find the answer elsewhere but if anyone else was wondering... you can't do it through users/passwords in the control panel, you need to go to admin tools and then to computer management. From there do local users/groups, then right click the local admin group and do a "add to", from there you can access the domain info.
