Automatically making AD users local administrators on computers in SBS 2003

Is there any way to automatically add new AD users as local administrators
to each client computer. I tried to rerun the "Network Configuration Wizard"
to add newly added multiple AD users to client computers except that the
wizard will not run again if it detects the computer is already a member of
the domain. It would be nice to have the server to automatically assign
local rights when a new user logs on at a computer. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Bob
