Create policy for Power User

I would like to create a policy that automatically adds the Domain Users Group to the local Power Users Group.

Is this possible and ifso how would I do it?

All I can think of off the top of my head is a startup script that adds the group. Probably what you'll end up having to do.

via network login script:
net localgroup "power users" /add domain_name\domain_group

Use "Restricted Group" in Group Policy

You know that's generally a bad idea... do you have an app that requires it or something?

However, you can do it pretty easily using a Restricted Group Policy.

Actually several and just about everyone needs it. Its not to hard to manage all my users since I work in a office of about 30 and none of them have admin rights so they cant install anything.
