I am facing the same problem here...

The Domain Users I have created are not able to install applications on their workstations.

That?s the security beauty of a domain environment. You don?t want your users to have the ability of installing software for a number of reasons. If your users could install software you would be forced to spend time supporting the new software, the new software might not be compatible with system hardware and cause other things to not work. If your user installs software that is causing a problem, it would be harder for you to troubleshoot. And the main reason is viruses, most viruses? needs to be installed with an account that has administrative rights. If the accounts don?t have admin rights, the virus can?t damage too much. The best thing to do is install the software with a local administrative account on the machine and make the software available to all users, or you can login with you IT account that has admins rights and temporally assign admin rights locally to the user. After the user installs the software, remove the local admin rights.

You only want them to have local admin rigths long enough to install the apps, then remove the rights when your done.

1. Login with your account on the local machine. You should have admin rights since your the IT person.
2. Right click on my computer, and select manage. On the left hand of the tree window, select local user groups.
3. Now double click on groups, and then double click on administrators.
4. Now add the user name to this group, and click apply. CLose this window, and log off. DO NOT RESTART the machine, Simply log off.
5. Now log back in with the user account you just gave admin rights to. INstall the programs and then log back in with your account and remove them from the local admins groups. AFter you have removed them, NOW RESTART the machine.

BLAM, your done.
