Steve.mccall Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Hi, I'd like to be able to automatically add a used to a computer as an administrator at their first login after checking the user is a member of the active directory. I'm not really sure about how to go about it. I'm assuming I'll have to write a script that will identify the user in the AD then add it to the local machineAny help would really be appreciated. Thanks Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awilliamson Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 If this is an AD based network, adding DOMAIN USERS to the local Administrators group will grant the permissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tain Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documen...p.mspx?mfr=trueTo add the existing user accounts stevev, ralphr (from the Sales domain), and jennyt to the Exec local group on the local computer, type: net localgroup exec stevev sales\ralphr jennyt /addHopefully you realize the security implications of what you are trying to accomplish.
