Hi Ben,

If your laptops are a member of the domain, you can just use the Restricted
Groups group policy to add the users to the Administrators group. Please
keep in mind that if you don't have sp4 installed, then you will also need
to add the Domain Admins group because without sp4 or the Restricted groups
hotfix, it will replace what groups are already there. Reference article
320045 and 810076.
