User Rights 1

[bscs1963]

I just installed Windows XP Pro on a new computer for a user in my office. When I went to install the printers (creating a port in local setup).

I have the user set up with administrator rights, but they cannot add printers, and other functions available to the administrator.

Is there a way to give the individual user all the rights. Just a note, the user is connected to the system through a domain. I never had this problem except when I set up a new machine and install a new copy of Windows.

How are you making this user a part of the domain? Did you go through the new OS install and in the default Admin account try to join it to the domain? Then log in as the domain admin and create a new user to the workstation and give it admin priveledge? Then log out of the domain admin account and log in as the user account on the workstation?
I had issues with programs not functioning properly between server 08 and xp/7 workstations when attempting to enter the domain with a properly named user account and creating the user from the domain to the workstation this way made everything work fine.

Thank you very much! The solution worked perfectly.
