According to what I've understood, you can make a group the admin group and
you have to map this group to the nt group "domain admins"

Here's what my config looks like:
admin users = +root

the mapping was done with:
net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=root

And any admin user should be member of root and via pdbedit (in my case) also
a samba user.
