allowing non admins to install sofware on local machine

[rthomas5]

Is it possible to allow non admins to install software
to their local xp/2000 machines using group policies on
2003 server or maybe by adding them to some group?
The users im talking about do not even have an account on
the local computer. Just on the 2003 server running AD.
I dont want to make them admins just so they can install
software. I also dont want to roll out an *.msi package
that installs when they log on. I also dont want to go to
300 machines and put the users into the power groups on the local machine.

Can this be done?

If so, how?
Thanks


Have you rebooted yet?

create a vbs script that will add the users from a specific group to the power users group on the local machine. search for VBS scripts and you will probably find one
