Andy,
If someone has set a policy that is affecting local group membership,
it might be in an AD group policy object under:
Computer Configuration>Windows Settings>Security Settings>Restricted Groups
It could also be done using a machine startup script, or other scripting
method.
Hope that helps,
DS
