Windows 200 server

I have a network with domain usig Win 2k server.
I have anew workstation using XP pro sp2. I have created a user account on
the server and the workstation locally for the same user giveing them Admin
rights. However when I login under the domain, it will not allow the user to
install software, only when they are logged in locally.
I need this user to have admin rights for a special sofwtare install, that
the 'Install as Admin.." function does not suffice.
What would be blocking this user for full admin rights on the machine whn
logged in under the domain, even though they are an administrator of the
domain..

This is the domain account. It takes affect when this user logs onto the
domain instead of the local computer.

This is the users local account. It takes affect when the users selects "log
on to this computer" from the drop down list where the domain is listed when
you go to enter a username and password.


You want the user to log onto the domain and be administrator on this PC,
add their domain account to the local admin group. From their computer when
you go to "add" their account to the admin group change the "location" to
point to your domain and you will get a list of the domain accounts. Find
and add their account from the domain.

Are tou sure the Domain User group is a member of the local Adnministrators group, rather
than the specific user ?

If you create a user on the PC it is ONLY a local user account. When you participate in a
Domain it is a separate account on that PC.

Thanks Dave,

Are you saying you can make the Domain user group, in this case
Administrators on the domain, a member of the local Administrators group? on
the local machine.
If so how do I do this.

Regards.
Scott

Throuogh the Control Panel Users and Passwords applet or scripted using NET.EXE

The sub command; net localgroup

Open the LOCAL administrators group on the workstation, add the domain
users account to it - this is a very bad idea, it means that users can
do anything they want to the local computers - this is a change of last
resort and should be avoided at all costs - it violates most security
norms.

Thanks Leythos,

This is for a special install for this user only.

I could then remove this doamin users group from the local workstation again
after I have completed the installl couldn't I?

Why not just add that DOMAIN users name as in domain\john smith and then
you can leave it for John, but none of the others will have that
permission.

We do this with a single account we create just for allowing a single
user account to logon and install updates - we create an INSTALLER user
that is a domain user, make it a member of the LOCAL ADMINISTRATORS
group, change the password between updates. This means we can tell
select people the INSTALLER password when they need to do updates, but
they can't log onto the server (as a domain user account) with it - they
can install the updates and then we change the password so they can't
use it again. We also set the domain policy so that the locally cached
profiles are deleted when they log off.
