Hi:

Unfortunately adding a local account with Admin privialges will not do the
trick. You need to add the domain user as an administrator:
To do so, do the following.

Logon to MachineB with an account that has administrator rights. Then in the
run box type: control uerpasswords2
A box will pop up that shows the local accounts. From there click on the
"Add" button. A box will appear that has two fields. Username and Domain.
put jnorton in the username box and WONDER in the domain box and click next.
After clicking next, select Administrator as the security level and click
finish. User jnorton will now have admin rights on machine B

Hope that helps.
