hi

I have win2k Domain (ADS).
Actions:
Logon as administrator for the domain on a win2k Pro
SP3/XP SP1 box
Try to add domain/user to be admin group for the local
machine.
I cant do it.
The error is That domain could not be contacted.

I have not set the log on locally for the domain sec
policy.

Can anyone let me know how to do the following

1. Login as admin on any workstation and add domain/user
to the local admin group.

I have migrated the users from NT to a win2k Domain

THis is severly hampering the developers

Any help appreciated.

I dont see errors on the DC either
If you know what error number then i can browse thru to
find that.

Thanks
madu
