Log onto your computer with the Domain admin account.
Right click on my computer and select manage. Expand "Local Users and
Groups". Highlight "Groups" then right click the "Administrators" group and
select add to group. Click "Add" again.
The resulting "Select Users and Groups" dialog box, the "Look in" defaults
to the local computer name. Use the drop down box beside "Look in" to select
your domain (or entire directory). Add your user account from THIS list.
After you click apply, your name *should* be listed as
"Yourdomain\yourname". This is your domain account. Any accounts listed as
just "yourname" is just a local account and will not have admin access while
logged on to the domain.

Is this how you did this before?
