To expand on Javier's comment. Log on to the workstation as the domain
administrator. Right click on My Computer and click on manage. Expand
users and groups. Open the Administrators group. Click on add and look
in the domain, not the workstation. Maybe a find now but from there
you can add users so the user is an administrator just on that
machine. Nothing to do with being a domain administrator.
