Setting up second domain admin

Hello. I am looking for advice on setting up a secondary domain administrator account. We are a small business and I have been doing the IT alone up to this point. We are bringing in someone else to help and I'm not sure how to configure their access so that they aren't a top tier administrator but can still get things done. The might be joining machines to the domain or setting up new users in active directory. We would not want them to edit our NTFS file share permissions.

Is there any way to give someone enough ability to do what they need to do without being able to take over the entire domain?

Thank you.

Thank you for the responses. Shaun does the delegation techniques that you listed work for server 2003?

That is the version that we have installed.
