Joining a T41 to a domain

I was reading about the partition problems on other posts and I remembered WHY I stopped using the IBM partition/OS! on the T41 ( I always do a "OEM" install of the OS)

When the computer is joined to a domain with the IBM/OS (XP) for some reason you CAN NOT manage user group permissions on the client!

I tried everything and could only do it BY either connection to another computer with a NON ibm/os (adm account) or by managing it from a server! I WAS NOT able to remove this feature with the IBM load on the TP.

Has anyone else experienced the same problem?, were you able to resolve it?

mod: I think it would be better in software, but at the same time I have only seen this on the T41! up 2 u....

Well; I don't think that is the case because there are several T41s, and other T4X Series machines, joined to domains in the Labs.

They will join the domain FINE, BUT if you need to add a user to the "power user group" or "admin" group (local), you can't! Not from the client (no policy in place on the domain controler/s), I never did figure it out...and it drove me crazy for a whole week!
