I work for a company that has 250 windows xp computers and they are all logging in to one doamin controller.
I want to make all the users power users on the local machine but i don't want to go to each machine to do it.

How can i make it happen in Active directory?

Can i ask what you want to stop them from doing because i thought that power user was a local thing, also power users can make system wide changes and install programs. Is that what you want?

Yes i want powerusers to install printers and other programs.
but how can i do it without going to each machine?
the are logging in to a domain.

From AD I'm not sure if its possible but you can do this remote, using "Computer management" tool from Control panel\Administrative Tools.

I recomend you to thinking again if you want this.
Very soon you will have a lot of problems.
How many people are in your IT team? Are you ready to support 250 PCs/problems each week?
