Hi, i would like to add myself to an administration group so i can go
upto any pc, log in under the AD domain and then perform admin tasks.
Currently when i log in i have restricted access, the only way around
it is to log in with the local administrator, then add me to the local
admin on that machine.

Any way round this so i can admin any computer?

Thanks in advance,

Chris


Domain admins are by default members of the local administrators'
group, unless you knocked them out for some reason. You can
check this on any workstation by running this command:

net localgroup administrators

If you knocked yourself out then you have to put yourself back
into this group.
