How to create a GPO to add a Domain Admin to server Local Admins

[ascore55]

I am looking for the best way to create a GPO which will add a Domain Administrator to the Local Administrators group on all servers (30).

Additionally, there are a handfull of servers that I would like to apply a GPO to which need to use specific service accounts to start services.

Thanks!

have you checked your local administrators group membership?

The real issue I'm having is that on (1) server, I attempt to add Domain Admins to the Local Admins, built-in group. When I click "Apply", it states that "Domain Admins is already a member of group Admins. However, it does not appear in the local admins list. I have already regenerated the SID on the server, attempted to add Domain Admins but received the same error. Certain applications rely on the presence of Domain Admins on this DB server.
