Hay all.

I was setting up a couple of new computers (XP 64) and I am having some domain problems.

One computer after setting the domain in and logging in using an admin account. It still would not allow me to install a program or a printer. It keeps saying I do not have enough privileges. If you log into the computer as the administrator locally and look in the users to give the user privileges of course they are not there so you cant give privileges, they are controlled by the Server.

On the server the user has admin rights. I even looked at the security in the registry and they seem locked to only the administrator. So how so I tone down the security on the workstations? I have not encountered this with any of my other workstations. I hope it's not a 64 bit thing.

Thanks
Michael

you need to add users to the local groups (like administrators, power users) using

domainname\username

In Control Panel -> Admin Tools -> Computer Management -> Users and Groups

Ozzy means you have to add your domain user group to the local Administrators group on the client PC.

On the client PC you need to add the following group:

dlaw\username (Where "username" is the name of the user to be added)

To the following Local group:

Administrators
