    Yes you can use "Restricted Groups" Goto your GPO and browse to
    Computer Configuration | Windows Settings |Security Settings | Restricted
    Groups.

    Right click the right side of the screen and select add group.
    Type in (or browse if your on an XP box) Power Users and click ok.
    Double click the new group (power users) that you just added.
    Add the users / groups you want to be members of the local Power Users group
    to the "Members of this Group" dialog box. (You should use the browse command
    and directly locate these user in active directory). Click ok and your done.

    Now either wait until your group policy refreshes (usually 30-90 min) or
    manually update your group policy, or just reboot the workstation. Your users
    will now be members of the local power users group.

    I woud use a group policy that will apply to all your boxes to get this job
    done, more specifically the Default domain policy.

    Hope this helps.
