Local Admin account - Active Direct

I want to be able to give local-admin rights to one group called "group1" (so that they can install locally and have local admin rights on clients) without having to include them into 'Domain Admin' group or 'Administrator' group. Windows 2000 Active Directory. Any ideas?

Add the "Group1" to the Local Administrators Group on each machine.

That's impossible for me since I have 2500 PCs. Any other suggestions?

Add the group via a startup script. Not a logon script, a startup scipt and push it down via group policy.
How much would you pay for the actual script syntax that does this? Hmmm... 2500 pc's - $1 a pc?

Ok, give up. Try this
net localgroup Administrators "Group1" /add
Put that in a startup script and push it down via group policy. It will add the Group1 domain account to the local Admin account on each w2k/xp machine logging into the domain.
If that works, let me know where to send the bill.
