Unable to add domain user to local administrators group on member server (2003)

I am receiving the following error when I attempt to add a domain user
INTSOL\besadmin to a Windows 2003 member servers administrators group.
Information returned from the object picker for object "besadmin" was
incomplete. The object will not be processed.

The following has been checked thus far:

1. Check TCP/IP of member server to ensure that DNS IP address is
pointing to internal DNS server.

2. On the DC I ran netdiag and dcdiag to ensure AD was functioning
correctly. No errors to report.

Specifics:

IS-DCXNGE - Windows 2003 standard - (INTSOL) Domain Controller with
Service Pack 1. Installed - AD, DNS, WINS, TS License, and Exchange
2003 SP2. Group Policy Management is running on the DC.

IS-FS1 - Windows 2003 standard - Member Server
Service Pack 1. Trying to add user INTSOL\besadmin to the local
machines administrators group on IS-FS1.

Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

FYI - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/908479/en-us - this is not
relevant to my problem.
