Domain User - Local Rights

Create a local account for those users with same name and paswword like domain account and include this account in local admin group. They will log in on to domain but also will have local admin rights.

You should be able to simply put the domain user account into the local Admins group. Have you already done this and it is not working? Hope this helps!

Are you sure that you really want to give the users local Administrator rights? You may want to create a group of people you trust to perform local administrative tasks, and add that group to the local administrator group instead.

The user connects to the domain to use a corporate App. and receive Anti-Virus prog. Once they log on they can no longer administer their own machine with the domain user-name logon. I don?t want to give out Administrator rights or require avisit to add local printers or some programs. In this case the user should be able to do his own local installs.

Just to add to synergy/dlo's answer:
Open the Local Users and Groups MMC Snap-In on the XP box -> select Groups -> right click Administrators -> select Add to Group -> click the Add button -> in the domain drop-down box choose your Win2K domain andthen in the user list, select the domain user account you want to have Local Admin rights to the box.
click Ok.
that's it.
