you can implement a group policy (restricted groups) to add the account to administrators. In Brief:

1.Create Global Security group and add make "cewadmin" member of it.

2.create a new GPO by adding global security Group to it and make this group as member of Administrators.

Prefered to do it through gpo also, however I have a script laying around here to do it... Same think came up yesterday in the deploy windows 7 forum

 

I'll find and post next week

if you can always use GPO, dont create a maze of scripts.

much easier troubleshooting later

as an alternative, you can add a domain user to the local admin group so that it can also be useful while troubleshooting... i will post your requested script very soon...

This is what I use, not sure if this is what you are looking for.

 

This should be used with Admin rights

 

@ECHO OFF

net user administrator /active:yes

net user administrator "enter your password"

echo.
