[Samba] How to assign Administrator's rights?

[John Schmerold]

All our enduser computers use the same password for their administrator 
password in localgroup

We copy cpua from http://joeware.net/win to a public directory on the 
server.

In our login scripts I put the following line:
\\fs1\sys\public\cpau /profile /u administrator /p pw /ex "net 
localgroup administrators %userdomain%\%username% /add"

This should get the job done for you.

Obviously the main drawback is that you are giving everyone 
administrative rights & local machines are insecure as a result.
