Domain user cannot use QuickBooks

by cp409sd . Updated 23 years, 2 months ago

I have a Win2k server for a domain controller and Win2k professional clients. I am able to log into the local machine as Administrator, install and use QuickBooks 2003. When I switch users, to a normal user, who logs into the domain,(not the localmachine) and try to run QuicBooks, I cannot.

In the Quicken manual it says that in order to use the QuickBooks software, users must be “power users”, not just regular users. Unfortunately, it is my security policy to not have ANYONE log in locally to their machines. Everyone must log into the domain, for security reasons. Therefor I don’t know how I can let a domain user have the access they need on the local machine that QuickBooks runs on. Is there a way to let a domain user be a “power user” on a local machine?

Please let me know of other ways to get around this problem. If I don’t have to, I do not want to create a local user account on that box.
