User Group with Install privileges

[hmdeassis]

Hi everyone!

I need to create a group in windows 2003 enviroment that will allow users (when added to the group) to be able to install apps in their desktop.
I already created the global group, but how do I go about on giving right to the group, just to install apps without having domain admin privileges?


Can anyone help me out?

Thanks

You'll want to add that group to the correct rights on the GPO which is applied to the users groups. This will probably be local admin rights as most software needs admin rights to install.
