RE: Unable to Add Domain User to Local Admin Group.

It was a DNS Issue.
We added the DNS's of the Main office along with the DNS of the ISP and now
it works correctly.
The reason it would join the domain is because WINS contained our DNS of the
main office and when you join a domain it looks at DNS and WINS, however the
login script does not look at WINS.

I can add the PC to the Domain, but when I try to add the Domain user to the
local admin group of that pc I can't do it.
I don't even get the option to select from the "DOMAIN" that I need to
select the user from. I only get the option to select from that local PC.
Another thing when the user logs onto the PC, the login script doesn't run
and we get an error.
I'm wondering if its a DNS issue as this is an issue at a remote office that
we just hooked up and they are connected back to the main office through a
VPN Tunnel.
Any suggestions or ideas?
