When you use restricted groups the local membership of the group will mirror what is defined in Group Policy on any workstation that is within the scope of the GPO. You could remove the unwanted users by configuring the membership of the Administrator group to nothing, but the removal of the existing local admins you had setup before this happened is probably not reversible. I can't think of a way you could get them back.

It would seem as though some particular users have been applied to the local admins groups to all clients across our domain. This has been initiated via the Restricted Groups option within Group Policy but has now caused all the existing local admins to be removed from the clients. Despite removing the applicable users from the Restricted Groups and setting the GPO back to not configured, they're still applied. Is there a way to set this back to the previous state? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Ray
