rights not percolating

For some reason rights I am assigning to users in active directory are not
being passed. I assigned administrator rights to one user so he could make
some changes to his PC and his level did not change on the local machine.
Same problem with other users, they are only retaining the rights asigned
when the login was created. We are running a single server (2003) with about
10 users on its own isolated domain, I am not an AD expert so any tips or
troubleshooters would be apreciated!

Hello duke,

To which group in the domain do you add the users, or how do you make them
admins? Please describe your steps in detail.

If they should only become local workstation admin, use Restricted groups
according to this article:

If you made the user a domain admin make sure the domain admin's global
security group is in the local admins security group. Otherwise be real
precise and define every step you took.
