Hi, I am having trouble with new computers after I join them to a domain and install the needed programs, when a user logs in with there profile the programs won't either run or run with errors. If I give them administrator rights they all run perfectly. These users on older machines run the programs with normal user rights with no trouble. Any ideas, Thanks

Could you give me a little more information, as to what OS the new computers are running and possibly what programs you are trying to install. Have you tried different variations of user rights, are their My Documents being held on a server, do they have rights to those, is the programs looking at My Documents for the initial run?
WinXP can be a tricky litte devil when it comes to user rights, we had a big issue with it a couple months ago at our remote locations.
Let me know and hopefully we can come to a solution.

Hi, the OS is XP and the program is a acounting program that people with user rights can run on other XP machines. I also find that printers for users of this XP machine can not be installed unless the user has administrator rights where on other XP machines the user can access and install printers. I have been runnig into trouble with only new computers I try to put on the network not older XP machines. I get around this usally by running a script file which gives users administator rights on the work station but, this is not the way a network should operate. Thanks again, and I hope you have the answer.
