Hi all

My question is, how do I give an ordinary domain user administrative control over their own PC? For instance, I want the user to be able to update anything and change any setting on the PC he works on every day, but without making him a Domain Admin and while still having him log onto the domain (instead of creating a local administrative account). I've seen this done, but don't know how to reporduce it. I've played with the Group Policies, but just can't seem to figure it out. What am I missing? Anyone know of any good links that can walk me through this? Thanks!!!

Logon to the PC as local administrator, open control panel, User accounts and look for the user name with your domain name (other than the local PC) as a normal user, select the user and click on the properties and click on the Group memeber ship, select other and select Administrator fom the list.
It will do the purpose and I don't know you are looking for some other methods.
All the best
