Is there a way to change, a machine on the domain, local
administrative groups permissions? I would like to add
domain groups to a machines local admin group via GPO. I
would also like the new permissions to replace the
current permissions except for the local admin account. I
this possible with a GPO? I have users that will add
individual user accountsor groups to their machines to
allow temp accessand then forget they were added.

Thank!!
