We are in the process of designing and piloting Active Directory. We have
over 100+ remote offices, each one will receive a server that will be there
local domain controller as well as file and print server.

Here is my problem. I need to give certain groups local admin rights on
their respective server in each office. However, I do NOT want them to have
domain admin rights.

Unfortunately, I don't know a single way of doing this, and was hoping you
might be able to help. Any thoughts?

Thank You

William
