Tip: Run a free scan for common Windows errors ad

re: Client PC User Rights Monday, January 16, 2006 at 9:49 pm Posted by Curt R (773 messages posted) Yes, it's very common. Here's the solution: Add the domain\users group to the local administrators group on each client PC. This will give the users rights to run all software. Also, it allows them to install so be careful. On Monday, January 16, 2006 at 4:53 am, Geoff Gartland wrote: >Recently installed SBS2003 with XP Pro clients.

That was exactly the advice I needed. I have tried it and it works. I have also experimented with adding specific users to a local PC 'Administrator' group and have experimented with making them members of 'Power Users' and 'Backup Users' as an alternative.
