Damian,

    I am trying to make sure power users can install software on computers
within the domain. Right now they cannot. Our old network admin copied over
group policies from our old DC and before using SBS2003 we had all the it
staff as domain admins. Now since we have WSS we cannot have the IT be
domain admins since there are subsites we do not want them to access, but
the IT staff need to be able to install and maintain user computers. So do
you know where I would look in the group policies to allow power users to
install software?
