Yes you can create a group and add the users to the group. then go to the
workstation and add the group to the administrators group on the local
machine.
The only think better would find someway to make the group automattically
add itself to the local admin group.
if nothing else you can do it remotely.
On one XP client right click on My computer and choose Manage. Add the
group to the admin group on the workstation. Then you right click on the
Computer management in that frame and choose connect to another computer and
type the name of the another XP computer. Add the group to the local admin
group. Do this for the rest of you workstations. The change may not take
affect till after a reboot or atleast a log off and log back in of a user in
the new group.

Hope this Helps
