I can't seem to figure out how this could be done. How would I be able to change a user's priviledge on a domain to be able to install software, without making them an administrator?
Local administrator on each PC can have that privilage. You can a user a DOAMIN user (Whatever privilages you want) and then make them a LOCAL ADMINISTRATOR on the PC in question by When you are in SELECT GROUPS (of Properties of user) you can switch from Domain to Computer name in LOOK IN. That will make them a LOCAL Admin but not Domain ADMIN. hope this helps.
I believe taht only LOCAL ADMIN has rights to Install Software that effects the PC. Please let us (Tek-tips members) know if the solutions we provide are helpful to you. Not only do they help you but they may help others.
Although - according to MS's Win2K documentation, a local power user should be able to install software locally - yet an Office 2K install requires local admin authority.
