I have what appears to be a simple problem, but can't get it to work. I have
a W2003 server with AD and DNS installed. I joined a W2k workstation to the
domain. I created an account on the server and can log into the domain OK. I
checked policy by removing the RUN button from the menu bar so DNS ok. I
then set it back to normal. I need the user to be able to administer his own
machine. Install drivers / software / change TCPIP address settings
occasionally. How can this be done. I checked the LAN properties box and it
says user doesn't have rights to view or change some of the LAN props or
disable the connection. I made the user a local admin on his machine, didn't
work.. How can this be done without giving him admin rights in the domain?.
For that matter, I added him to the admin group on the server in Active
Directory, didn't help. I rebooted several times. Any ideas?. I have to log
on to the w2k box with the account Administrator in the Domain to change
network and other settings. No other account I create as a member of admins
works. Default Domain Policy is only GPO in effect I guess..??? Any help
