Give user install rights...

[jellybeenz]

How would a domain administrator give one or two users rights to install/uninstall software on NT 4.0 workstations? They should not have permissions to change anything on the domain or have any access to the PDC or other servers. If they were added to the local admin group for the workstation, would the applications be available when the user is logged into the domain? Or can a separate domain group be created which would give them very limited admin rights to accomplish this? Thanks for any tips.

Granting local admin rights should do the trick. Have them add/remove programs while logged on to the domain to ensure they are accessible. ________________________________________

SgtB,
Just to be sure that I understand, local admin rights will be in effect even though the user is actually logged into the domain?

Correct. Grant local admin rights to domain\username, and then the domain user has local admin rights to that machine. ________________________________________
