You da man! -----Original Message----- From: Sullivan, Glenn [mailto:GSullivan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, May 16, 2003 6:07 AM To: 'windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [windows2000] Re: Adding additional groups to local admin group Yup... Stick the machines in question into an OU, and then create a new GPO and link it to that OU. Then, in that OU, navigate to Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Restricted Groups. Right click in the right pane, and choose "Add Group" Don't browse, but type "Administrators" When it is created, Add members to it. Make sure you add "<Domain>\Domain Admins" and "Administrator" (the default members of the local admins group) otherwise these will be removed when the GPO propagates. Also, if I may suggest, create a Global Group, add the PT Employee's accounts to that group, and then add that group to the local admins group via GPO. Then, to maintain in the future, all you have to do is add or remove from the global group, and it will "flow downhill."

We're in AD here, and all 2k clients. Is there some group policy I could deploy to do this automatically, or perhaps a regedit with the SID of the group to be inserted?
