I have installed likewise-open and joined the domain succesfully on Ubuntu 12.04.

When I login with a domain user that is a member of Domain Admins I don't get administrator priveledges on the Ubuntu box.

I edited the /etc/sudoers file and added:

%HOME\\Domain^Admins ALL=(ALL) ALL

but this didn't work either. I can't run any sudo commands!

EDIT:

I've now also tried this (taken from PowerBroker docs):

On Ubuntu, you can simply add your domain account to the admin group 
in the /etc/group file by entering a line like the following as 
root:

admin:x:115:LIKEWISEDEMO\kathy

but this too didn't work!

Likewise (or PowerBroker, whatever they're calling it now) lowercases translated group names, in addition for the space character replacement that you've accounted for. Try:

%HOME\\domain^admins ALL=(ALL) ALL

Also, is it set to assume default domain? If so, then you don't want the domain part (I think this behavior started in a fairly recent version, so that might be part of it). So, also try:

%domain^admins ALL=(ALL) ALL

It's safe to just stick both of these in the sudoers file - one or the other should do the trick.
