The only place that add workstations to the domain user right works is in
Domain Controller Security Policy where you should configure any user right
for the domain controllers. It is also possible that changes that you made
to Domain Controller Security Policy have not propagated yet or the user
that you are trying has not had his user security token refreshed to show
that user right. You can use the support tool command whoami /priv to show
the user rights in a security token. Note however that for regular users
this user right allows them to add only ten workstations to the domain
though that can be changed per info in the KB article below or give that
group create computer objects permission to the computer container in AD. I
would also recommend that you run the support tools netdiag, dcdiag, and
gpotool on your domain controllers to make sure that your domain is running
well and AD is replicating like it should. --- Steve
