Add Domain Users Group to Powe Users Group in Script

 Add Domain Users Group to Powe Users Group in Script

Legacy applications are making the upgrade to Windows 2000 difficult.  My
users cannot run many programs because they attempt to write to a restricted
area of the registry or the winnt and program files folders.

I thought an easy way to solve this would be to add the Domain Users group
of the logon domain to the Power Users group of each workstation.  I could
then use group policies to make their account act more like a normal Users
group.

To avoid having to go to each workstation, I thought I would write a script
that is executed at startup.  The sample code is at the end of this message.

Unfortunately, I always get an error stating that the workstation does not
trust the domain.  I have no problems doing the procedure manually and I
have recreated the computer account in the domain.

Does anyone know how to make this work or have a better way to solve my
dilemna?  All help is appreciated.

Sincerely,

var network_object = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network");

var power_users_group = GetObject("WinNT://" + network_object.ComputerName +
"/Power Users,group");
power_users_group.Add("WinNT://myDomain/Domain Users,group");
