QUESTION POSED ON: 19 December 2006
I have a domain group that needs to be added to the local administrators group on all our WinXP workstations. How can I accomplish this all at one time, instead of connecting to computer management on all these workstations one at a time?

EXPERT RESPONSE
According to Microsoft, this can apparently be done with a script without too much difficulty. The exact parameters will vary for your organization, but the basics seem to be pretty straightforward.
