Well, restricted groups policy can't just "add" someone to a group. Your
local groups will mirror what is specified in the GPO. In some cases
this is really handy because you may only want specific users/groups in
there and Restricted Groups policy will remove any user/group that is
not explicitly allowed.

 

However, in your case, you only want to add someone, so you will
probably need to make that change using a computer startup script.

 

The following link has some VBScript samples that should give you a good
start:

Subject: [gptalk] Add user to local administrators group

 

Can I use a GPO to add a user to the local administrators group on all
our pc's in our domain?

 

I looked at the Restricted groups setting but I don't know if this will
work.  We have a windows 2000 domain.

 

Thanks for any help,

Matthew Johnson
