Does anyone know if there is a way to add a domain user to the local
Administrators group using a script? The following script works if the user
is a local user.

strComputer = "MyComputer"
Set objGroup = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "/Administrators,group")
Set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "/mike,user")
objGroup.Add(objUser.ADsPath)

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
