I have a number of applications won't run with a domain account that is copied from the local profile. The only way to make them work is the -, Run-As, then use the user's local account to run the program. This is happening both with Quickbooks 2000 and Visio 2000. Office applications run fine. I'm thinking it's a permissions issue, but not sure if it's with files or in the registry. Any help would be appreciated.

I would try copying the local profile to the domain account again and make sure that the domain account is 'permitted to use' the local profile.

I had a similar problem happen to me because the local user profile was from a user in the 'administrators' group and my domain account was in the 'users' group. The 'users' group didnt have permission to some of the applications (won't run like you). So I had to copy the local profile to my domain account again and set the 'permitted to use' to allow the 'users' group access to the local profile.

Hope this helps some?

We have found that a Domain Account is usually more restrictive. Several pieces of software install to the USER not the machine. We have created a domain group for a special application that requires local administrator access as it makes network setting changes from a Novell server. The Domain group is then placed in the local admin group so it will work.

If a normal user "Power User" can operate the app, grant the domain account access to the User group and try it.
