I need to give a group of domain users Local Admin rights.

this is what I have done so far with NO LUCK!
1- Created an OU for the computers.
2- Created a GPO and linked to the above OU
3- Under restricted groups added "Administrators" and members "domain
admion" and "Domain\Local_Admin".
4- Logged into the workstation with a domain user account.
5- Tried to add a new hardware.
It doesn't work.

what am I missing? where did it go wrong?


See tip 5319 » How do I create a global group, so that it is a member of the local administrators group on all workstations and member servers, by using group policy restricted groups?
