I have inherited a job as system admin on a small office network of about 40 PCs. I have users on NT workstations that need to be able to install and uninstall software for testing purposes. These users have only limited network rights but need admin rights locally to do what they need to do. At the moment, I have to log on for them as admin and let them do there stuff while I am there and it is using up a lot of my time. I have tried giving them admin rights on the local PC and that didn't seem to work. The only thing I can find that does work is to make them members of the admins group but that is NOT the desired thing. Any tips are appreciated.<br><br>Thanks.

Using the local User Manager (not User Manager for Domains) make them members of the <i>local</i> administrators group. Thjis does not give them any domain administrative rights, only administrative rights on that particular machine. <p> Jeff<br><a href=mailto: masterracker@hotmail.com> masterracker@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>If everything seems to be going well: you don't have enough information.......
