In our company, you have to have local admin rights to run some of the
programs. I add our active directory users on their local machine to become
local administrators. When I come back to their machine in 5 or 6 hours, they
are no longer listed as local admins. Basically, I have to keep adding them a
couple of times per day to keep these settings for a couple of hours. It only
effects several computers in the company, but I don't know what's causing it.
Any ideas why Windows can't keep the settings?

Thank you very much for your help!

It must be in a group policy for the affected computers or users. When group
policy is reapplied the settings are changed.

Thank you very much for your help. I checked our group policy and the things
do look a bit weird there. I changed a few setting, so now I have to wait
till Monday to see if that helped.

Thank you for your time!
