Access rights on a w2k workstation are completely separate from access rights within a domain; similarly users in a domain are completely different (in MS terms) from users on a W2K workstation. If your users are logging on to a domain then they will have user accounts within the domain and when you look at the users on a w2k box you will see something like \<domain>\<user name> as the fully qualified user name (may be 2 leading slashes ie \\ or mayeb none I forget which - just don't hang me forthis lapse :-) ). A user defined for the local machine will have a similar fully qualified user name but the 'domain' will be the name of the local machine.
To give a domain user administrator privileges on the local workstation you will have to add that (fully qualified) domain user to the administrators group on the local machine. Log on as the local machine administrator (I'm assuming you don't have a domain user with administrator privileges on the local machine as yet), open the control panel and click the "Users and Passwords" icon. This will list all the users for the local machine. Click the 'Add' button and then click the "Browse" button. On my workstations this brings up a dialog pointing out that you don't have acess to browse the domain and asks for the username and password of someone who does; so enter the username and password of the user that you used to join the workstation to your samba domain. Now you can browse through a list of domain users and add them as users with (Administrator) rights on the local machine by adding them to the local machine's administrator group.
