I have set up a laptop for a loan person at our bank. It is a Dell insperion, loaded with a wireless cell card for accessing the internet away form the office. She has local administrator rights to the laptop and full access to the C: drive. I have two profiles set up for at the office and away for the office. I have installed Nortions internet security and have a USB lock on the laptop. The problem is that at the office she can not reconfiger the internet explorer proxy settings to let her have access to the network. If I use the laptop as myself, I have doman admin rights I can change any thing. She can when booted to the network do any thing she needs to, like add, delete modify. She has had more rights added to her profile because she works after hours and makes the bank a lot of moneyp;) If she boots to the network, ie cable in and cell card out she can do what ever she needs too. I can give a lot more info, we are trying to be SOX, FIDC and every one else compatable.

Her domain account should be added to the local administrator's group on the laptop.

She is part of the Administrators and network cofigeration operators group. The reason she was added to these two groups is some of the software she uses has to have full access to the operating system and the user needs full access to the network. I am going to compleatly remove her profiles next and rebuild them.

That did not work, If I log in as myself on the network I can change any thing and so can she. If I log into the laptop off the network I can do any thing but she can not. If I have her reboot as administrator and change the settings they will stick untill she needs to change the again. I set this laptop up and had set myself up as a user, mabie I need to reinstall and set her up too as a user then reinstall every thing? What a pain in the a**. Any other ideas please. I know there are alot of companys that do the same thing and I would like to know how they do it!

I think having the wireless cell phone card and loging into the network created two user profiles. I removed both and created a new one with admin rights and now every thing works great.
