Re: administrator access without adding to administrators group

I have created a domain account that I want it to be a local adminitrator
on all servers in the domain. I want to do this without adding the user to
the local administrators group. Is that possible? Is this something that
could be done from the local security policy?

Let me get this right.
You want, for each server, a domain account to be an administrator
without being in each server's Administrators group ?
So you want the account to be something (admin), without meeting
the essential, minimum necessary and sufficient requirement for it
to be that something (i.e. member in Administrators group) ?
That would be sort of like us all being billionaires without having
to have a billion, right?
