Does anyone know how I can assign local admin rights to a user so they have that right on any workstation they log into. As opposed to assigning it on their workstation. I am running NT servers with Win2000 clients.
Thanks!

You can create a Global group for local administrators. Add any users to this group that you'd like to have local admin rights on a wkst. Then, add the new group to the local admin group properties on the wkst. You would need to add this group to all the wkst's you want to be accessible-

If these worstations are members of a domain, put the user in the domain admins group. This group is created by default. It is also added to the local administrator group on a workstation during the install when you join a domain. Should be easy if you are running a Domain situation. Otherwise the answer in the first post will work fine.
