Hi,

First you need to have samba configured as a domain.  There are several
guide out there to help you. 

Secondly, you need to create a domain group that you will add to the
administrator group of the XP machine.  That way, you will not have to
touch the machine itself to promote a user to administrator.

Third, you need to add that user to the "XP administrator domain group"
on the samba domain. 

It just works as a Windows Domain.  Remember that no user will be admin
without these groups as Windows has no idea of what to do with them. 
With a group, Windows will be able to associate that user to an admin
group.
