Power Users is a local group, and cannot be done over a domain controller.
I found an article that explains what you must do, and it is as I feared! You
have to add every user to the group. What this article suggests is adding the
domain users group to the local power users group, that way anyone who is
part of the domain users would be given power users.
There are some people I can think of that I don't want power users, so his
machine will not get this wonderful change, but it must be made to each users
pc.
