Script changes in local admin rights XP Pro desktops

Hi,

Is it possible to add a NT domain global group into the local administrators group on an XP Pro desktop automatically?

I need to use a script as I need to perform this on over 200 machines.

I've had a play with net group and net user but cant get it going.

Any ideas?

...it looks like net group would allow you to play with group memberships on the domain controller, and don't allow you to change groups on a client machine.  Meanwhile I'll see if I can find something...

In order to modify the group you'll have to use an administrator account, so if you're using a login script, everyone will already have to be a local administrator.  If they aren't local admins...I guess let's find a way to do this first, and determine the requirements from that.  I'll post again when I find something.
