Add user to Local admin group in windows XP & 2003
Dear All,
I need to add one user to all local administrator groups in all workstations in the network. I can do this by using Restriction Group in group policy, but this will make a problem because it will delete all users inside the local administrator groups and put the one whos add in the restriction group.
I need to add one user without affecting the users membership in the local administrator group.
Please help me.

You can do this by using the "Member Of" function of the Restricted Group policy instead of using the "Members" function. The Members function will overwrite the existing settings. The Member Of function merges your change into the existing settings.
Create a group. Add the user to the group.
Create a policy using Restricted Groups, and select the group you created. Then in the bottom part of the next window, enter "Administrators" where it asks for "This group is a member of".
Note that you can not simply use the user object. You will need to put them into a group first, even if they are the only object in the group.
