Not sure about your first question. I'm assuming that you are asking why a
domain account user has the ability to use the "Change" button for changing
the domain or workgroup when they don't have admin priviliges on a domain
level but are part of the local PC administrator group. From my experiences,
this is because when you assign a user the Admin privileges on a local
machine, they have the ability to anything to that PC. Doesn't mean they can
join another domain, unless they have domain level admin rights, but they can
put the PC into a workgroup. I make all of my users 'Power Users', so that
they can't do stuff such as that. I do have to modify the local PC group
policy to allow them to load drivers for printers and such, and it is a pain
when they need software installed because I have to log them off and log as
admin. But well worth it compared to the headache if I did otherwise.
Your second question is not possible, atleast I don't beleive. From my
experience in AD, you can't assign domain level admin privileges to a local
PC account. If others know how and can prove me wrong, I ask that they post,
because I would be interested in learning something new as well.
Sorry that my response wasn't a solution provider.
