You can add the user to the &quot;Account Operators&quot; group. But maybe you want to restrict it just to add workstations to the domain as mentioned by luv2smile.

We have a tech that sometimes needs to rebuild workstations and add them back to the domain with a new computer name, but he cannot do so with his current network privileges. We have to provide him with a different login name that'll allow him to add the computer to the domain. After he does so, we disable the account, and repeat the procedure everytime theres a new workstation build. Is there a right/privilege we can set for this specific user that will simply give him rights to add computers to the domain, eliminating the need for the other login? We are running Active Directory on Windows 2000 Server with all WinXP workstations.

How to give specific user rights to add computers to domain?

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.
