I have a few hundred machines that are migrating from Novel to AD. I want to create a group policy to add 2 groups to the local administrators group.
I tried a login script that uses
NET localgroup Administrators /add "Domain\COMPSupport"
The problem is the user does is not an admin so the script doesnt run (well it runs, but the command fails).
Tried the same but with RunAs command. Would work in theory, but it prompts the user to enter the Admin password, so again, no help.
I could probably write some kind of script that embedded the domain admin password but that seems pretty close to shooting myself from a security perspective.
I could hire temps to run around to every PC and have them log into the PCs and add it via some elevated domain account. Again, not really what I am looking for.
Does setting the managed by property on the computer object get me anywhere?

No "managed by" does nothing!
the process is:
Create a group policy that configures the two groups as security group as a Restricted Group , and under the "This group is a member of...", option add "Administrators"
Link the GPO to the OU that contains the computers
Run gpupate/force to update the policy
