More info?)
Global groups are created on domain controllers only and can be added to local groups
on domain members. So if I understand your question, then yes you must be a local
administrator to add domain global groups to a local group on that domain member or
it can be done with a startup script using Group Policy which runs in system context.
By default the domain admins are in the local administrators group on domain
embers. --- Steve
