Can't Start Outlook 2000 or Internet unless Administrator

[useractive]

New to 2000 and I'm having some problems. We have 3 machines that are 2000 Professional and having a problem. If a user signs in (and is labeled as a Power User on the local machine or an Administrator) they can not access Outlook or the Internet. If they sign in as an Administrator to the domain itself then they are allowed access to both programs.

Any ideas on this one? I've tried signing them up as an Admin locally and Power User/domain but still doesn't work.

The most recent change was that we added WINS to the server for them. Ever since then they have the problem.

what about copying the administrator profile to all users profile.

opes,

Good suggestion, but like I said I'm new to this so can you let me know how to do what you mentioned above. Thanks.

It all depends how Office was installed. If it was installed by the Administrator account from the domain then it is part of that profile and not accessible to anyone else. I suggest uninstalling it and install it as the local administrator, therefore the profile might end up in the allusers profile.

Good luck.

Yup, tried that one too and it still didn't work. I ended up creating a Power User group on the domain of all of the W2K employees, put that power user group in the machines Local Admin group and it worked just fine then. Really weird, but it works. Of course I lost all W2k Security, but oh well at least they don't have admin rights to the domain.
