3 of my Users had Administrator rights.  However, the Administrator rights disappeared, and I can now add no User to the Administrator group.  Administrator is not an option when I try to add a User to a group.
 
I can add a User to the Administrators group (plural), and I can still logon to the server as the Administrator.
 
What happened to the Administrator Group and how can I fix the problem?  Any help will be appreciated.

TTBOMK, there is no "Administrator" (singular) group in AD or Windows. There is an "Administrators" (plural) group. If you add the users to the Administrators group on the workstation, you should get what you need.

HTH...
