Domain Admins group missing

I'm in the process of migrating an SBS 2000 domain into a
SBS 2003 domain. I am following the white paper
titled "Migrating from SBS2000 to Windows SBS2003" step by
step.

I've already installed SBS2003 on the destination server.
I've also successfully migrated one XP client to the new
2003 domain.

However, when I tried to migrate another XP client today I
ran into the following problem.

According to Step 3, it says I need to add the Domain
Admins group for the source server to the built-in
Administrators group on any client computer. The strange
thing is that when I go to add this group it's not
listed. The only listed groups are the local computer
groups.

Am I using the wrong procedure to add groups? I open the
SBS2003 server console and select "Local users and
groups", expand the groups folder, and select the
properties of the built-in local administrator. But when
I try to add groups via Location button, it only lists the
local computer domain. It does not list the parent server.

The other XP that I already migrated lists both the parent
server and local computer via the Location button.

What am I doing wrong? How can I add the Domain Admins
group to my built-in Administrators group?

I noticed that this SBS2000 XP doesn't include the
username "Administrator" for the SBS2000 domain in the
control panel->User Accounts window. The only SBS2000
domain account it includes is a username titled "ckeith"
with administrator rights in the domain. Also, it
includes a username that it says belongs to the local
computer domain, but I can login with the SBS2000 domain
selected.
