Re: Local privileges of domain users

You don't "find" the intended group, you key the name:

1. in Group Policy Management Editor, select Computer Configuration, Security Settings, Restricted Groups
2. in the right pane, right click and select Add Group....
3. here you can either "Browse" to find the domain group you want added to the Local Power Users group on the target computers, or key the (domain) group name
4. click OK
5. in the bottom half of the "Configure Membership for..." dialog, under "This group is a member of:", click Add...
6. key the name of the Local group you want populated - in your case, key exactly the words Power Users
(if you click Browse, you will only see the list of groups known in the Domain or on the computer you are logged on to; the set of Local groups on other computers might well be different)
7. click OK

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.

But when do I find "Power Users"? I can only find Administrators...

Hello John,

You can, with restricted groups feature in a GPO.
