Domain user rights

Hello.
I hope I am posting this in the correct section of the forums. Its to do with networking and user accounts.

The household logs onto XP Pro SP2 workstations with username and password managed by my domain server (server 2003 SBS).

Recently my sister wants to install software on her machine. I make her account part of the administrators group, tell her to log off and on again.
After she logs on again she attempts to install some software. Although i have added her to the administrators group on the domain server she does not have the required user rights.

The following work-arounds are NOT acceptable:
1. Logging onto the local machine with the local administrator account.
2. Logging onto the local machine with ANY local account.

I would apprecitate any help as soon as possible please, as i have never been able to get around this issue.
 
And what group is the domain admins member of on the local machine?

If a user needs administrative rights on the local machine, you usually make that person a member of the local administrator group, not domain admin.
