AD administrators and domain admins groups

Hi,

What is the main difference, in terms of user privilege, between the administrators group and domain admins group in active directory? Accounts in either groups allow me to manage AD. It seems that only the domain admins group can administer domain workstations and servers.

Thanks

OM
