Add NT 4 Domain User to Local Adminstrators Group

Hi,

I have try to add the NT 4 domain user to local adminstrators group.
I'm getting the following message when I'm enter the network security user
who have access right to the domain.

Login Failure: Uknown user name
or bad password"

Any one have an idea how to add the NT 4 domain user to Windows Vista Local
Administrator Group?
It's Windows Vista can work with NT 4 Base-Domain?

PS: I managed to add the Windows Vista box to NT Domain.

The only way I found to do this is through the command line:

Net localgroup administrators /add DomainName\UserName

Re: Add NT 4 Domain User to Local Adminstrators Group


the olny way it worked for was the following steps

Add domain user as administrator to the PC

1) Start the PC with username which got admin privilage.
2) Start user accounts in control panel.
3) Give domain username and domain name in the place which is given.
4) Select Admin privilage from the 3rd option for the user rights.

all the other methods, did not work.

Shown below is what I see for the original post. It is blank. About 1 in 20
show up this way for me. Never happens on replys, just originals. Using IE&
and Vista. Firefox also shows blank. Anyone else seeing this?
