Hi,

I installed PCAnywhere 10 and other graphic application such as Adobe Illustrator on a W2K Professional. I can run it when I login as a users with Power User or Administrator membership, but I could not start it when login as member of Domain Users.

Can someone kindly tell me what the minimum permission does PCAnywhere require to run? What would be the best solution just to have users runing this application without giving them Power Users membership?

Thank you very much in advance.

Go to the Computer Management console and click on groups under Local Users and Groups. Double click on Power Users and then click Add. You can select your Domain in the upper drop down list and then add either yourself, another user, or you can addAuthenticated Users. This should solve your problem.

When we were first implementing Win2K, we ran across a MSKB article with a note at the bottom stating that Power Users in 2K were practically identical to Users in NT 4. We now automatically add domain users to the local power users group and have found that the rights that they do have are not out of line.
