[gptalk] Re: Having 1 central user to administer workstations

Hi Craig

Not too sure how security conscious you are about the whole thing, but why 
donâ??t 
you just make the account a member of the domain admins group? You wouldnâ??t 
need to 
worry about GPO's then..

You could use restricted groups via group policy, but there are a number of 
factors 
to be considered - plenty of information on the net about this..

The other option is to create a batch file that will run at start-up via Group 
Policy. Within the .bat file, include this line:

NET LOCALGROUP Administrators "DOMAIN\Username" /ADD 

Hope this helps
