Administrator rights disappear from local Computer

We have an installation that uses Windows 2003 Server and XP workstations. Every week or so the users set up on the XP computer will lose their "Administrators" group for their local computer. It just disappears.

To add it back we log on to their computer with an Administrator account from the server, and add "Administrators" back to their rights on their local box. Then a week or so later, it disappears.

My question is:
Is there something on the Server side that looks at the local computer and deletes their "Administrators" group? Maybe we need to tell the server that it's okay for the user have Administrative rights on their local computer?

Thank you for looking!
