Voodoo is always good. Here are the incantations to use:
Note that you must be at least a domain admin to do this.
From your PDC or BDC, start User Manager for Domains [Start button/Programs/Administrative Tools (Common)/User Manager for Domains].
If all of your stations are on a domain, and you have the group 'domain admins' includeded in the local administrative group of all machines, just add each user to the domain admins group. Do this by double-clicking a user, clicking the Groups button, clicking the group to add in the right-hand window, clicking Add, and clicking OK and then clicking OK again.

If you need a particular user to have administrative rights on one box only:
Start User Manager for Domains as above.
Click the file menu, and click Select Domain. In the domain name box, type \\computername where 'computername'is the netbios name of the computer you want to grant access to, then click OK.
Note the title bar of the frame should now read something like 'User Manager - \\computername'. You are now editing the security information for that NT box. (If thatNT box happens to be a BDC or PDC you also wind up editing info for that domain.)
Double-click on the Administrators group in the bottom window.
If the user you want to confer power upon is not in the Local Group Properties window that pops up, click on the Add button.
Here is where it gets tricky.
If the computer is part of your domain, or a domain that the computer "trusts," in the top box, "List Names From", select the domain, then find the user in the window, and double-click thename, then click OK.
If the target computer or the user is NOT part of your domain you will have to set up a login for the user ON THAT MACHINE.
The new account must have the identical login name and password on the target computer as on wherever the user normally logs in.
Create the account by cancelling out of the Local Group Properties box, then click the User menu, and select New user. Fill in the information. Click the Groups button, and add the user to the Administrators group.
Good luck.
