Re: Applications/programs that require admin rights

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hi again,

Sorry about the delay in getting back to you I have had other issue to
resolve also. Now when I ran rsop.msc on the system (xp pro) I receive the
following;

Mode - Logging
Username - domain\username
Display User Policy Settings - Yes
Computer Name - Domain\computer name

Details - Invalid Name Space

Also after it had a little think I received the following;

RSoP data is invalid. Likely causes are, data is corrupt, data has been
deleted or data has never been created.

Hope this helps.

Regards

I have create a security group call local admin. In the members section I
add
the user in which I want to grant premissions to install the application.
In
the Members of section I add administrator/build-in. I then logged on and
the
user still has no premissions to add remove software. Thanks for your help
so
far.

True I was always a fan of adding them to local admin group and
removing
once
software was installed. but sinice xp upgrade I have tried to add the
user
to
the local admin group but I seem to be unable. It gives me an option to
add
users from the local system i.e. laptop-xp and does not let me add
users
from
active directory. I am lost here all help is welcomed.

Regards

I have contacted the company that supplies it and
they say you need to give the user admin rights. I then edited her
account
from the server using active directory to make her an administrator
and
domain admin.


- What???!!!, you need to be Domain Admin to install software on a
laptop??

- Don't make your users members of Domain Admins or you can be very
sorry
later.

- Making the user member of LOCAL ADMINISTRATORS on the laptop should
be
MORE THAN enough, or use the runas command to install the app on
profile's
users.



I then edited her account
from the server using active directory to make her an administrator
and
domain admin. I then try to install the program using that account
and
it
still says that the users has no install rights.

Don't do this, if your vendor is pushing you to do this, take my
advice,
and
buy a new App.

I logon as domain admin to the laptop that I want to install the
software
on.
This laptop is a member of the domain. I then install the program it
works
fine when logged on as administrator but when I login as the user
that
will
use the software in this case a restricted user that does not have
install
rights it does not work. I have contacted the company that supplies
it
and
they say you need to give the user admin rights. I then edited her
account
from the server using active directory to make her an administrator
and
domain admin. I then try to install the program using that account
and
it
still says that the users has no install rights.

Hope that made sense.

I run SBS 2003 as PDC, AD, Exchange, DHCP, Print server etc...

Client is running xp pro and logged on to the domain.

I am trying to install an accounts package but it seems that you
need
to
be
an administrator for it too work! Im sure you all heard of this
one
before
but here we go again. I have already added the user to domain
admin
and
administrator group and still they cannot add/remove programs.
Please
help.
