I have a small NT4 network and I have a weird situation, some clients on the network cannot run certain software without having Domain Admin rights for that user? There doesn’t seem to be a pattern with the software there running or how it was installed. I’ve installed the software as me (Administrator) works ok! Logged back in after install to make sure everything is ok! When the user logs in the application doesn’t run unless give Admin Rights.

Are they running the software on the Server .. or on their own machines -- connecting to server.
Some softwares require that you be a local administrator on the machine you are logged into, in order to install or run. Alshrim

Have you tried to give them local Power User rights to their systems? They shouldn't need Domain Admin rights at all, just local system rights.

Under WINNT\Profiles do your users have access to the programs executable? This could be the problem, you may need to copy the program folder from administrators profile to a user or all users. I have certain applications that act the same way. Once you copy that folder you can remove anything in that folder except the executable program. This way the admin still has the full installed version and the user have access to the executable.
