SYMPTOMS
When you install network components on a computer that is running Windows NT 4.0 and join a domain at the same time, the domain Administrators group is not added to the local Administrators group on that workstation.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods:
 * Do not join the domain immediately after you add the network components. Add the network components, restart the computer, and then use the Networks tool in Control Panel to join the computer to the domain.
 * After you join the computer to the domain, log on to the local machine account as an administrator and add the domain Administrators group to the local Administrators group.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
