Thanks Darren and Jamie - but from my understanding, both options you explain require the user in question to be on the domain, correct? As you can see from the screenshot below, if I were to do this for a local user, it has to exist on the machine first I blocked out the part before the "Admin" user, which just shows the computer name. I want to create a LOCAL user on the LOCAL machine through GPP, and have that LOCAL user be in the LOCAL Admin group. Sorry if that wasn't clear. From: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Nelson, Jamie Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2009 10:36 AM To: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [gptalk] Create Local User In GPP, you should be able to do that by creating a new Local Group item. Set the action to "Update" and select "Administrators (built-in)" from the Group name drop down list. You could also do this using Restricted Groups policy, but since you're already using GPP you might as well stick with it.

I can create the user no problem, but can't seem to find out how that user can be added to the local admin group on the machine. _____ Confidentiality Warning: This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the intended recipient(s), are confidential, and may be privileged.
