How to add a local admin account to every workstation in domain using a group policy
I have a network with windows server 2008 domain controllers.Every workstation in domain has windows 7 installed.
Is it possible to add a local admin account to all workstations using a group policy?
How?
e.g.
The username of account is "localadmin" and has password "12345678".
After the group policy applies I want to login to every workstation with
workstation_name\localadmi
and not with
my_domain_name\localadmin

Open GPMC, create GPO in domain, and then edit - go to Computer Configuration - Policies - Windows Settings - Security Settings - right click the Restricted Group - Add Group - Administrators (as Group Name) - and then Add - Member of this Group: (which is "localadmin") - and Add - This group is a member of: (Built-in Administrators).
Do not forget to run gpupdate /force /boot or reboot the workstation.
