On all of our W2K machines, we want all users that log
into our domain to have full access to their local
systems. Currently, a lot of users cannot run programs or
change settings because they don't have the
correct "Administrator" permissions to their local system.

In the past, when this occurs, I have added their domain
account to the local administrators group. However, most
recently, I tried from the local machine to add the domain
user to the local administrators group, and I received
a "processing of object (username) failed with the
following error: The RPC server is unavailable."

Help!! Also, is there another way to grant local
administrator access via a domain policy or something like
that?? Thanks in advance!!!
