Re: Server user account issues after upgrade from 2K to XPPro

On the new XP machine, is the users domain account a member of the
local administrators group? Right-click My Computer | Manage | System
Tools | Local Users and Groups | Groups | Administrators (sorry if you
already knew how to do that, you mentioned your experience level). Make
sure that the user is a member of this group and all should be good.
You may get away with adding the user to the Power Users group but I
don't know your environment.

I just added a new computer in the office with Windows XP Pro on it.
This is a replacement for one of the guys who was using an older
computer with Windows 2000 on it. The domain account is set up on the
server and when he logs into the network at startup as himself on the
old computer, he can manage his resources and use some of the server
based software we have with no issues at all.

When he logs into the network at startup on the new computer (XP Pro
SP2) he is allowed only read-only access and many of the software
applications don't work.

I am a bit stumped. I am a little new to the server and active
directory stuff so any helpful suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks!!
Andrew
