Give more privileges to a Power User

[Pat1703]

Hi there,

I need a user to be able to modify his IP address without giving him the full local Admin rights on his workstation.
He is already Power User but apprently it's not enough to modify these network properties.

I remember with NT4 it was possible to do that by modifying the security on some registry keys.

Thanks for your help

Patrick

I'm not entirely sure, but you could try
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TcpIp
or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\"Service"\Parameters\TcpIp
where "service" is your adapter (El90x1 on my PC)

Thanks John,

Unfortunately this is not enough, indeed this used to work with NT4 workstations but for W2K something more needs to be done and really I have no clue here.

User is Power User and has Full Control on the above mentioned registry keys.

Thanks anyway !
