Windows XP Professional In Windows 2000 Domain.

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

I noticed a few odd issues with domain administrators not being able to
access files and such because the did not have local admin rights. It was
strange because I thought domain admins had Local admin rights by default.
I solved it by making sure the Domain admins group was added to the local
administrator group. I then used RIS Images to create all my other
workstations and never had the problem again.

Since that worked I never revisited the issue to find out why. It seemed to
be a random in nature in that it did not happen on all machines.
