Hello, I am trying to add a Domain User to the Local Administrators Group.
When I attempt to do this through the GUI, while logged on as a Domain
Administrator, the domain does not appear in the "Look in:" dialog box.
Only the local computer does. Also, when I try to do it via the command
prompt, it says the Global user does not exist...
