Hi all,

I would like to be able to automatically define some of our DOMAIN users as local Power Users on Win2000 and WinXP machines. There is an automatic mapping of the DOMAIN group "Domain Admin" to the local group "Administrators", is there one for "Power Users".

I have come across a kind of solution myself. If I create a DOMAIN group "Power" and then run the command:

net localgroup "Power Users" /add Power

on each of the PC's I can set up the relationship required. However, is there a 'native' NT4 DOMAIN group which does this automatically without having to run the above command.

I'm from a UNIX background and I struggle with these domain/local group concepts.

Cheers
Hank
