I am running an NT4 network with w/95 pc's. We have just put in some xp pc's & i can't get the users to set up their own printers, unless i set them up as a domain administrator. Also i have software on their pc's that will not work unless i set them up as domain admins. I ahve tried to set them up as local admins on their pc's & this doesn't work.
Are there issuse with NT4 permissions conflicting with XP machines & if so (or if not) how do i solve these problems.

Ok, try this..

I am guessing they are logging into the domain correct?

Join the xp pc to the domain... Logon as the domain admin on that pc... Create new user on that machine with the username they will log in as and put your domain in the domain group. Select the proper privilige... Log off / on as that user. Everything should work fine now.

Just add the Domain User account to the local administrator group on the Xp pc's, this should let your users configure they're own pc's and will not affect the domain permissions. Hope this suggestion is helpful.
