Adding domain users as local admin

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right group but I will try anyway. I am setting
up Windows Xp users to a SBS 2003. I am trying to add the Domain users to
the local Admin group but it keeps coming up with an error saying that it
can't find the Domain Users. How do I fix this? I need to the user to be
able to have local admin rights to their workstations.

Also, how does the licencing work? I have installed SBS2003 which comes with
5 CALs. When I look in the license window, it tells me this but Maximum
usage is 1. What does this mean?

Look forward to a response.

Hi Mil,

On the workstation, when you are logged into the domain, you should have
drop down box and choose the domain. From there you can add the domain users
to the local admin group.

I would make sure there is _no_other_option_ than Local Admin if this user
accesses the internet...
