Add Domain Global Group To Local Group

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I just built my first domain controller using Server 2003. Joined some
Win2K clients, and XP clients, to the domain, no problem.

Next I defined a global group "Local Administrators" on the domain, to
be domain users, but administrators on the client computers. Now I
need to add the new group to the XP clients, to define its members as
administrators on the clients.

When I try to add the global group to the XP clients, in the local
group Administrators, the Add dialog box only lets me select the local
computer, it won't search for the domain. The "From this location:"
list only shows the local computer name, I can't get it to show the
domain. This is even when I'm logged in as the default domain
adminstrator.

Obviously I'm missing a concept somewhere. Any ideas?
