Thanks a lot Alan,

I did it and it work well.

The "Default Access Control Settings in Windows Sever
2003" white paper said that there was no change in the
power users rights, and in the page 5 said that the power
users can create, manage and share local printers... but
it's not true.

Thanks again for your help.

Alberto Caceres.
