Permision to install applications

[debcu]

Hi,
I've got Win 2003 Standard on one of my server which is on member of domain. I want to grand access for installing application, just one user on this server (just only this). Domain user belongs to Domain Users group. How can I do it?

Log in as Administrator?

I don't quite understand your question. An Administrator has full access and rights (godlike).

Add the user to the power users group local to the server? Best I can say. This will not impact any other servers, but you would be giving this user the access to do a lot more than standard users, and possibly compromise network security with installing bad or malicious software...

Hi,
when I add domain user to local Power Users, they still can't install any application. I need to allow rights to install applications for one domain user.
Any sugestion?

Funny, the article at

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/825069

shows that they should be able to do exactly what you want. It also talks about the security risks involved. There may be a GPO in place to restrict what is going on, but I can't be sure. What exactly are they trying to install?
