Adding local admin from a second server, to the domain adm..

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.active_directory (More info?)

You can't add a local user or local group to a domain global group.

You will need to create a domain account and place it in the domain admins
global group and then logon to the domain with this domain account.
