Have I lost my Mind? Local admin user setup

I have setup a number of WinXp Pro workstations on our domain, but now I
have gone senile!

I need to give certain domain users local admin rights to their computers.
As I recall, I merely had to create a local user on the workstation in the
company domain using the 'manage|local users and groups|users' and give that
user admin rights. But now I can't seem to get that to work. There is no
place for me to indicate what domain a local user belongs to. I am logged
into the workstation as an admin and I can verify that I am logged into the
domain as the 'set l' command verifies. I also thought the Users screen had
a display similar to:

        corp\frankf Frank Fine
        mypc\frankf frank fine

Am I kookoo?? Or is this Win 2k Pro I am thinking of.. Oh well, then how do
you give a user local admin rights while they are logged on to the company
domain?

TIA

Marcus
