Vista - domain user can't be local administrator?

I hate two problems on the same way.
I have one account "joe" that is a domain user on a windows 2003
server, and i want that he will became the local administrator of the
computer "wstry".
I tried to put it in the "administrators" with "domain\joe", but when
i login, windows vista say that i don't have permission neither to
change the desktop, and appear also a message telling me that the
profile is temporary and at the end session i'll lose all settings
(event 1511 and 1515).
I tried to enter on a worgroup and then came back on the domain but
the problem persist.
In the system event viewer i find this:

Log Name: System
Source: Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy
Date: 02/03/2007 8.53.52
Event ID: 1085
Task Category: None

I solved this, doing a system restore at yesterday.
But the problem with no-admin right persist.
I'm going to format and install xp, hope someone will
however give me an explanation with this.
P.S: other xp clients don't have problems.

If I read your first post correctly, you're trying to create a local
account from a domain account. This won't work and has nothing to do
with XP/Vista issues. You need to log into the local Administrator
account on the machine and create your new user account from there.
