Hi Ed,

I presume computers are part of domain (domain members).

On Windows XP and Windows 2000 right click on My Computer -> Manage -> under
Local Users and Groups click on Groups -> here double click on
Administrators. Click on Add and make sure that under "From this location:"
you see your domain name (if necessary change this by clicking on Location
button). Under "Enter the object names" enter domain username of user that
you want to be local administrator on designated computer.
