The client machine is running WinXP PRO, the
ActiveDirectory Domain is running on Win2k. As I said, I
don't think I explained it well. Client machine has 2
users defined....
Administrator (local machine admin), and USERA, which is
set up to run in the network domain. USERA has been
granted administrator rights, however, when I go into
ComputerManagement, and Users and Groups, I cannot assign
this domain user into the local machine administrator
group....only the local USERA can be put into the local
administrator group. Therefore, when USERA is logged into
the domain, they cannot run applications that require
local admin rights.
