I have to add a local user to all of our workstations that needs to be an administrator on the workstion. I have seen the addusers.exe, but have not been able to track down our resource kit. Does anyone have any other suggestions on doing this?
 
You can do this through a GPO. You would modify the Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Restricted Groups

You would then create one called Administrators. Then add the groups you want to have admin rights. Do not forget to add Domain Admins in since this will overwrite that section and remove it if you do not include it here.
