last question... when i log into the domain, it creates the domain profile as a standard user, how do make the domain users that log in Administrators

Why would you want the domain users to be administrators? You can either manually add the group "Domain Users" into the local group "Administrators" via the Local Users and Computers Snap-in for MMC, or you can add this sort of thing to a batch file that would be run during the MDT:

 

net group %computername%\administrators "Domain users" /add

 

Experiment with that code as I may have got the syntax wrong. I know I have a script in VB that does it but it is at work and I'm not

we run into issue with prof that are not admins when logged in cannot install software, or get prompted for admin credentials. Theses machines are treated like personal computers which they do whatever they want to them

 

 

Another question, how can i get MDT to make a local admin profile called help desk?

Both local admin and a new account are probably easier done with gpp than mdt if domained

Good point, creating local groups and assigning users to groups can be done really easily via GPP. Didn't think about that. When I do deployments I don't make the PC's join the domain automatically, just in case the machine will be for other purposes. Manually adding them afterwards only takes seconds so its no chore
