I've done the DELEGATION WIZARD. I given the user access
to review user information and change password. But when
the user access her MMC console she can make changes to
the user account information. Am I missing something.
Can she have more rights flowing downwards that is
overwriting the rights on a particular OU?

Could the problem be that the user's rights is not applied
when accessing the AD from Windows 2000 Professional
instead of the server?
