The "pick user" dialog was "improved" in post-W2k versions,
but it is still very similar.
Start / run lusrmgr.msc and in the properties of the Administrators
group you should be able to select user accounts located in the
domain, if the machine is joined to the domain and using only the
correct DNS servers. Be careful about the "look in" scoping in the
dialog.
