小型企业服务器2011-在x服务器上设置用户admin而不连接到该服务器？

Question

Is it possible by any way (registry, powershell...) to put a user in a group such as "myServerAdminGroup" and automatically would give the right permissions to the user for that specific server without having to do it manually on the server?

Let's say I have some servers: "serverA", "serverB" and "serverC".

From SBS, I want to have some groups like "serverA_admin", "serverB_admin" and "serverC_admin" and without having to login into one of the servers, I want to set a user to the group "serverA_admin" and by doing that, the user would be admin on "serverA".

I just want to skip the step to manually set the admin permissions by connecting to do server.

I can't find anything on this... I thought what I did could do it, but it seems I don't really understand how it works. I tried this:

• Go in Small Business Server 2011.
• Add a new user -> "test_user".
• Add a new group -> Call it "test_group" -> Added new user.
• Add a new user role -> Call it "test_role" -> Added new group.

I guess by doing that, "test_user" as the permission of "test_role" by being in "test_group"? But I can't find how to add or remove permissions to "test_role"... I want to add the admin permissions for one or more servers.

Ideas? I'm know I can do this : https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc513935(v=ws.11).aspx but I really want to do it by adding user to a group.

All you should need to do here is go to each server and add the new administrator group to it's local administrator group. So on "ServerA" you would log in, go to "local users and groups", and add "serverA_admins" to the administrators group. going forward you'll just need to add new users to "serverA_admins" and they will gain admin access to ServerA.
