local admin issues

Hi,

I've got Two questions.

1st question:

Is there a way to prevent domain admins to be removed from the local admins
group via gpo.
In our case we've got some domain users which are also in the local admins
group and they can (if they want to) delete the domain admins from this
group.
This would prevent the domain admins from accessing this computers vor
administrative purposes...
I know, having domain users as local admins is not the best practice but in
some case of ours it is necessary.

Is there a way to prevent the domain admins group to be removed, or is there
any setting via gpo to force domains admins to be in the local admins group,
or is there another best practice?


2nd Question:

Is there a way to add a domain user via gpo or to the local admins group of
specific computers?

This would be very helpfull, we need a user which is a local admin on some
computers but it should not be a member of the domain admins group, and the
local assigment of the user on each computer would be quite inefficient.
Or is there another solution for this topic?


Thanks in advance,
Best regards
Berni
