Joinging Domain

We have a 2003 network with DC and clients, I am puzzled at why I can join our domain with a xp machine with any domain users if I logon locally as admin then join domain by just typing in any user in the Ad, I thought I have to have domain administator rights to join the machine to the domain controller and not just a domain user. Is there some settings set wrong?

Can you check your Domain Admin Groups?
Make sure that Domain Users are not a member of Domain Admin.

You may have inadvertently given Domain Users the privileges to add workstations to the Domain.

I have checked, the domain user group or the user I have use to join the domain after I log in as local admin of the client machine is not a member of anyone and the DNS is pointing to our DC, so maybe it is suppose to be able to join the domain since I am the admin of the local machine?
