Re: Can domain user log on a local computer?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Adding a domain user to a local group gives the domain account the the same
PERMISSIONS that a local user who was also a member of that group has.
Permissions control access to resources, shares, and some groups are granted
specific rights byb default. It does NOT allow the domain user to log on
locally to the workstation. You would need to create a local account for
that. On the other hand, if the local group happens to be "administrators"
(as it usually is), they would have the rights and permissions to create a
local account for themselves, then they could log on locally.

Once add a domain user to a local group in a Windows 2000, XP or
2003 member server, what can the user do? Access local resource
through the network? Login locally? Or both?
