Hi Davie,

   Ok well I've made some progress, basically i figured
that the command will be as follows

net localgroup "administrators" domain\groupname.

So on a workstation called "xp1" which is part of the
domain called "LabdomainA" i was able to add a group i
created in that domain called "TEST" into
the "Administrators" local built in group of "xp1" via the
net localgroup as,

net localgroup "administrators" LabdomainA\Test /add

& it worked ..the group called "Test" which was created in
the "LabDomainA" is now added into the
Local "administrators" group of workstation
called "XP1" ..sorry if i sound like im repeating myself..

the probleme im having is when i try to add the "Domain
Techs" group from the same domain i get the following error

"There is no such global user or group: LabdomainA\domain
 There is no such global user or group: Techs

More help is available by typing Net Helpmsg3783"

however it's not providing me with the adequate info to
get it working ?

any idea were i may be going wrong ?

thank for your reply.
