help! local administrator rights issues

I actually have done just that, I have a logon for a local admin. I
apologize, I am now reading the way I worded my dilemma. The problem was
that I needed to be on the network to add my user account to the local
admins group without the Domain Admin coming in and doing this on each thin
client that I stage or pilot. To do this of course you need to be on the
network with admin rights. My account has just that,+ but on these Thin
Clients with Windows Embedded my admin rights were being stripped.
I have since found that if I log on as the local admin and browse the
network for the resources I need, I can then 'login as' my credentials and
all is well. Still an issue but a less pressing one today.
Thanks for your help.
Tony
