Allowing USB Devices for normal users on Server 2003

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hello everyone.
I have two windows server machines that I just deployed as upgrades to older
windows 2000 servers. The system admin in the department has a done all the
software setup for the servers, however, when we hook them up to the domain
and log in, they do not have access to the local usb devices plugged in,
which is critical for their function.
I have added the user account to the local administrators group, and still
no joy. If I log in locally as the administrator, everything works fine, but
there is no access to the file shares on the network that are required for
the printers. I have tried making changes in the local security policy, and
that hasn't worked. If I log in, I have access to the USB devices and the
shares, but that is because I am a domain admin. I don't want to give the
user account domain admin privileges because the account is used on other
computers that are not running Server 2003, and everyone in the department
knows the user name and password for the account so they can restart the
computers that don't run server and log back in.
Thank you in advance for any assistance. If I need to be clearer or if you
have any questions, feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Luke
