Creating a Workstation only Administrator

• Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
• Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
• Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.5
• Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5
• Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.51
• Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.51
• Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
• Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. On one of the servers in the domain:

   a. Start User Manager for Domains.

   b. Create a new global group (for example, WKSADMIN).

   c. Add the pseudo-administrator user to the group.

2. On the all workstations in the domain:

   a. Start User Manager.

   b. Add the new global group to the workstation's local administrator

        group.
   

Once you add the new global group to all workstation's local administrator group, you can add additional workstation administrators by adding them to the global group on the server.

If you want the pseudo-administrators to have limited administrative capabilities on the domain servers, add them to the Server Operators group on a server in the domain. This allows them to shut down the server, share and stop sharing directories, and backup and restore files. It does not allow them to change any user attributes, add drivers, or take ownership of files.
