Adding Domain User as Local Admin

Hi there,

We are trying to set up the computer of one of our remote employees in house and are running into the issue that every time a setting is changed or a program is installed, it is requiring an administrator password from our domain. We don't want this (meaning having to put the domain admin password in every time) but keeping the domain on the computer is necessary for some of the software our company uses. Is there any way to make the domain user / local user an admin on the machine but not over the domain itself?

Hi, I'm Elise, an independent advisor and I'd be happy to help with your issue.

Yes, you can search for Local Users & Computers, go to the Administrators group and add the domain user to that group.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

Kind Regards,
Elise
