======Setting admin rights======
  −
If you are using SME Server as a domain controller and the workstations have joined the domain then the following is possible.
  −
The domain always has three groups created,  assigned as follows:
  −
{| border="1" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0"
  −
!Group Description
  −
!Domain Rights
  −
|-
  −
|Domain Admins
  −
|admin
  −
|-
  −
|Domain Users
  −
|shared (everyone)
  −
|-
  −
|Domain Guests
  −
|nobody
  −
|}
     −
However if you create a group and name it whatever you want but put one of the above for the description then the newly created group will replace the above mapping. So if you create a group called "admins" and give it a description of "Domain Admins" then anyone you assign to this group will be a domain admin and also a local admin on ANY box that has joined the domain.

You can also create a less privileged group "Power Users", see http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_groups.htm for the rights granted to the different groups.
