Now that I'm tired of banging my head against the wall, I wanted to
post this question:

I am trying to allow users to install Macromedia Flash on their local
workstation. Our Group Policies give users non admin rights but I
have made the users both Domain Admins and Administrator rights from
AD without effect on the install. It still tells me I have to be an
admin user to install the software. Do I actually have to physically
add these people at the workstation to be administrative users on the
domain? I tried adding them at the computer level in AD with
administrative rights...again no effect. I thought by making them an
administrative user at the server level would allow them admin rights
to the workstation. I'd rather not have to walk around to every user
and hear about the latest story about their kids. Can I not handle
this on a server level or am I screwed?

Thanks in advance
