If the machine is properly joined to the domain logon as a local administrator and
use lusrmgr.msc to open local computers and groups. Then go to the local
administrators group and select add and you should have a choice to select the domain
where you will have to browse to the user you want to add or try adding the user as
domain name\user as in mydoman\user1. --- Steve
