How do I add a local user to a domain group?

Local User Management deals with creating, managing, and securing user and group accounts that are stored locally on a Windows computer. Local user accounts are specific to a computer. Local Users and Groups is a part of the collection of tools that an administrator can use to manage single local computers as well as remote computers. Administrators can set permissions and rights on a local user account or group account on that computer, thereby
controlling access to files and folders. The Users folder in the Local Users and Groups MMC snap-in displays all the default user accounts and the ones created by users with administrative privileges. The default user accounts in the Local Users and Groups utility are the administrator account and the guest account. The Administrator account has full control of the computer and can assign user rights and access control
permissions to users as needed. It is used only for tasks that require administrative credentials and has to be secured with a strong password. This account is disabled by default. The guest account is used by people who do not have an account on that computer. The administrator and guest accounts are disabled by default. The Groups folder in the Local Users and Groups MMC snap-in displays all the default local groups and the
ones created by administrators or users with administrative privileges. Local groups can hold administrator accounts, local user accounts, domain user accounts, computer accounts, guest accounts, remote desktop user accounts, etc. Unlike users and groups created in Active Directory or on Internet websites, local user accounts and groups operate on a single Windows client and cannot
be moved between computers. A local user can be used for the following on a Windows client:
A local group is a set of one or more accounts managed on a single client, consisting of local and/or Active Directory users. Local groups can also be used to manage access or assign rights and permissions to several users at once, depending on business needs or user requirements. A local group can have many members and a user account can be a member of many groups.
