Adding Local Administrator Account Through Group Policy

I wanted to deploy SCOM 2012 agent to all our Windows workstations and servers and I want to use a domain account which also a local administrator on each of workstation/server. Instead of adding the account to the local administrator group manually, the way to do it is to use Group Policy to assign my newly created Domain User account as the local administrator on each workstation/server. You can do this using Windows 2008 or Windows 7 Group Policy Console.
