Instead of using the name administrators, use the well-known SID. S-1-5-32-544 for Administrators. There's a list of other SIDS that should be the same on all boxes, regardless of language, here.

The problem appears to be that the GPO modifies the "Administrators" group, however in France, for example, it's called "Administrateurs". The GPO appears not to be smart enough to realize that's the same thing, so it's not modifying this French version (or German). Is there a workaround for this??
