I work for a large Healthcare company in Central Florida.
One of my users in the accounting department is using
Microsoft Great Plains. When she tries to export a
certain list into Excel, she receives a message that she
must be an administrator to do this. I have made her a
local administrator on her machine and it fixes the
problem, until she logs off of the computer and logs back
on. After loggin back on she is still listed as a local
admin, but she has none of the privileges that a local
admin should have therefore she can't export this list to
Excel. I have to manually remove her as a local admin and
then re-add her again. None of the other people in her
department have this problem and there are no Domain
Policies applied to her that are not applied to everyone
else in her department. I have tried having her switch
computers as a test, but the same thing happens on other
computers as well. I'm pulling my hair out on this one. I
have searched the Knowledge Base as well as the entire
Internet for weeks now and I can't find a solution. So I
now turn to my peers in hopes that someone has had a
similar problem and can help me out.
