1. Windows 10 Cannot Add Domain User

To add an account as a member of the administrators group you need to be a local administrator already and you need to have rights to read the active directory information. A normal user can do this so what you want to do should be possible:. log on as local admin. connect on the VPN. open Start Computer Management Local Users and Groups (or run lusrmgr.msc).

double-click on the 'Administrators' group. click the 'Add.' ButtonAt this point, because you are on the VPN and the machine is a member of the domain, you should be able to click on the 'Locations.'

Button and select the domain as the location of the user list. At some point an authentication dialogue should pop up and you will need to enter your normal domain credentials. All the above answers are correct. If you want your Domain User to be a local Admin on the Windows 10 Pro PC, you have to make sure the DomainUser is added to the Admin Group.

However, even if you do that, you will still get pop ups saying you don't have permission. This happens because once you join a Domain in Windows 10 Pro it adds DomainUsers to the User Role. You have to remove the DomainUsers from the Users Group. Restart PC and then your Domain User will have local Admin permissions.
