I'm using Windows 2003 server as active directory and Windows 7 as a station. I need to have a regular domain user have admin rights on local machine. I added domain user to local admin group but they still do not have full access as local administrator.

On the workstation log in as domain admin and issue
net localgroup Administrators /add DOMAIN\USER
That will make the domain user an Administrator on that workstation only.

I'm assuming that's what the OP did when he said, " I added domain user to local admin group . . ." If not, then that's our problem. – surfasb – 2011-12-20T08:50:34.657
thanks! I logged in as local admin and ran it on my domain account and it worked. – Timmerz – 2012-08-24T19:52:34.057
Just to confirm, the Windows 7 machine is joined to the domain. Yes? – squillman – 2011-12-19T20:09:35.223
Yes it is, in fact domain admins belong to local admin group, I just added a regular domain user to local admin group but still no rights on local machine – Renny – 2011-12-19T20:41:03.700
3And you're positive that it was the domain user that got added and not a local user with the same name? (sorry, just trying to run through the obvious things! :) Do you see it listed in the Administrators group on the PC? – squillman – 2011-12-19T20:55:18.450
2Curious. Also what action are you using to "test" that the user has full access as local administrator? – surfasb – 2011-12-19T21:11:58.987
1I just disabled UAC and now it works! – Renny – 2011-12-20T20:50:46.040
