Yes, you can use Restricted Group policy for this purpose. Its under
Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Restricted
Groups. Simply link a GPO to the OU(s) where those laptop machine
accounts reside and then set the "Members of this Group" option on the
local Administrators group and add your manager's user id. Note that
using this option is an exclusive arrangement, meaning that if you only
add the local manager's account, all other groups (except local
Administrator) will get removed from the local Administrators group, so
you'll need those other groups in the list if you don't want that to
happen.

Is it possible to apply a group policy to establish one of our managers
as
an administrator on all the laptops we stage for the employees in his
department, without having to manually go in on each laptop in Local
Users/Groups and resolve his name as an administrator. We have AD 2000
and
XP workstations.

Thanks and the pardon the first grade question...
