Problem adding domain user to local group

I just added a few users to the new domain,
In one computer I had a problem, after I added the
computer to the domain, I tried to add the domain user to
the local administrators group,
When browsing for the location from which I choose the
user the only option I have is the local computer and not
also the Domain, so needless to say, that I cannot add the
user from the domain to the local group,
does anyone have an idea how I can resolve this problem?
and make the computer see the domain?

Thanks in advance

Yariv

Can you check these:

* DNS settings on your client computer (settings under TCP/IP
configuration). This should point to Active Directory DNS
* Reboot the client
* Check event logs on the client (System and Application). If there are any
errors in event logs, can you post back the details?

Also, make sure that you are actually logging onto the domain. Upon reboot
after joining a computer to a domain, the default logon is to the local
machine.
