Setup Power Users without actually making them Power Users in AD

by bombastar . Updated 18 years, 8 months ago

I have a Win2003 Server Domain with 2 XP Pro workstations.

I want my users to be able to run AutoCAD and other applications which normally require Power User permissions to opertate.

I’ve given Power User permissions on the local machines but I don’t want my users to have THAT many permissions. I DO NOT want them installing anything, I DO NOT want them to be able to change ANY system settings. The last thing I want is someone “clicking around” one day while they’re bored.

Also, setting up Power Users on every machine now is OK cause I only have 2, but what about when I have 200? (I’m an optimist)

Is there any specific, or set of permissions that would allow these programs to function properly? Do I have to create a special Group Policy?

Any and all help is appreciated
