An Administrator on a local installation of Windows, that does not have encorcement of group polciies, means they have complete and total control over that system. | |

What permissions are required are well documented, and are sigificantly dependent, on what group polcies you have enabled/disabled (so I can't tell you which permissions you need to grant since I know nothing about your domain). | |
