He can if you add the domain user. Here is how ours used to be setup in NT4

User was created on the domain and was just a member of the domain users
account.

We would then go to the client machine, log in as the administrator.
Connect the PC to the domain from System Properties.
Reboot
Login as admin again.
Go to Control panel and users and passwords.
Add new user. This gives an option to specify a user name and a domain.
Enter your user and your domain.
Select Administrators from the next screen and that's all there is to it.

They have local admin rights on that machine only and their assigned rights
on the domain.

I'm in the middle of switching to Ad right now as we have some new 2003
servers but it all looks to work the same way.
