My solution was to create a "Domain Power Users" group with net group map and assign an domain sid to it. I just incremented the highest sid in the group list, for example:
net group map shows: System Operators (S-1-5-32-549) -> -1 Domain Guests (S-1-5-21-1135672234-1853056381-2991119365-514) -> -1 Replicators (S-1-5-32-552) -> -1 Guests (S-1-5-32-546) -> -1 Power Users (S-1-5-32-547) -> -1 Print Operators (S-1-5-32-550) -> -1 Domain Users (S-1-5-21-1135672234-1853056381-2991119365-513) -> -1 Administrators (S-1-5-32-544) -> -1 Account Operators (S-1-5-32-548) -> -1 Backup Operators (S-1-5-32-551) -> -1 Users (S-1-5-32-545) -> users Domain Admins (S-1-5-21-1135672234-1853056381-2991119365-512) -> dadmin Since S-1-5-21-1135672234-1853056381-2991119365-514 is the last number displayed I could use: S-1-5-21-1135672234-1853056381-2991119365-515 so "net groupmap add sid=S-1-5-21-1135672234-1853056381-2991119365-515 ntgroup="Domain Power Users" unixgroup=pwruser" will create the group. I then went to the workstation and added "Domain Power Users" to the local "Power Users" group. Now anyone being a member of pwruser is automatically a Power User on the workstation. Thanks for all your help samba list, I appreciate it. This is what makes open source so valuable.
