    And why do they need to be a Domain Admin in order to
    do things on that one server ?
    If in fact they need Domain Admin it would be because
    they also need to do things on other servers, or to the
    definitions of your domain at the controllers.
    If that is so, it would seem your concern about them going
    around in your domain is ill-founded. You have given them
    Domain Admin so that they can do that.
    On the other hand, if they only need to be local administrators
    on the one server, then you can use standard methods of the
    domain user account given them, that is an admin on that one
    server, to control where that domain user account may be used.
