Provide Local Admin Rights
Maybe this is super easy, maybe not.
My boss, when he logs in to the domain, wants to have Admin rights to his PC. If I give him Admin rights from the server plugin, is he now an Admin on his PC, or is he an admin on the server? I hesitate to give him Domain Admin rights.
I know I can do it by visiting his PC and doing it locally through Control Panels -> Users, but I'd like to avoid a visit if I can.

I don't know what plugin you're using, but why not just use remote desktop to elevate the rights on the machine, so you're sure?
