I don't believe this is possible. The local administrator does not 
necessarily have a fixed username or password and I don't think the 
domain controller can see the SIDs used on the client for local users.

Are you sure you can't do it the normal way? Create a domain user and 
add them to the local administrators group on each PC? They wouldn't 
have to be domain admins if you didn't want to.
