Add local user to local administrator group
How do I create a group policy in Server 2016 to add local users to the Administrator group???
Example - JDoe logs in to a windows 7 workstation and he will automatically be added to local Administrator group.

Jeffrey, could you be more specific, please? I understand, you want local users (not domain users) to be inside the admin group but do it using GPO. Is it one account for all the computers? Or different accounts, each being admin on just one machine?
And why in the first place are you going that route?

Just note that you have to define all the users that will be added to the group. In this instance, you would define a restricted group called "Administrators" that includes (preferably) the Domain Admins group for your domain and JDoe. You have to define all the users and groups that need to be local admins because the restricted groups feature will erase any existing members of the local admins group.
