RE: Add a domain user group to local computer administrator group

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Please see the post w/CNPROGRAMMING group. It does work in AD.

I needed to give students access to the local DEBUGGER USERS group on 32 lab
computers so I created the security group in AD, added the students to the
group and then added the group to the local DEBUGGER USERS group.

I hope this helps and again, sorry for pasting the wrong script earlier.
