You can try to add the users using the Group Policy Preferences.. you'd need at least one 2008 or Vista client with group policy editor for this to work, but preferences are also applied to Windows XP/2003 clients, asuming they have the latest updates (including group policy extensions)..

Subject: [ActiveDir] Restricted Groups and Local Accounts

Say I want to create a restricted groups policy that when applied to specific machines will always ensure that a local user account with a certain name will be added to the local administrators group.

Is there a way to do this? When I create the policy and point the restricted groups policy to my own machine to grab the name of the local account, it works on my machine, but the policy will not add that local account to any other machines. Just to clarify, if the user account is created with the same name as specified in the policy, the restricted groups policy apparently does not recognize that local account and does not add it to the local administrators group.

Is the policy actually using the local SID of the account and thus even though all the local accounts are named the same, the policy doesn't believe them to be the same and thus doesn't process it? That's the only thing I can think of for why this wouldn't work.

Thanks,
Ben
