Hi,all

I just went to this new company and found out that
each domain user is assigned to local administrators
group.

We need to remove domain user from local
administrators group.  Is there any MS utility that
allows to do this instead of going to each workstation

to remove and assign them to Power Users group?

The environment is Win2K and XP.

Thanks always,

Chang

I would think that a login script containing the net localgroup directive
would help here.

The syntax of this command is:


NET LOCALGROUP [groupname [/COMMENT:"text"]] [/DOMAIN]
              groupname {/ADD [/COMMENT:"text"] | /DELETE}  [/DOMAIN]
              groupname name [...] {/ADD | /DELETE} [/DOMAIN]

As an example, what I've added in the past to "add" certain users and groups
to another group:

net localgroup administrators "mydomainname\Domain Admins" /ADD
:end

This should be just as easy to run to remove someone:

net localgroup administrators "mydomainname\Domain Users" /delete
:end
