Hi Andy

When Users are added in the Todo list they are added accordind to the
Template you choose. If the User Template is chosen they will be added as
Users. If after Initial Setup you add a new user using the Wizard from
Server Management, you can then select the Computer and Manage Computer and
Add user to that Computer. Then when the logon as that user it will be as if
they were added initially in connectcomputer. The beauty of the Wizards in
SBS is that they integrate tasks that used to be separate in the old days.

I don't know that the warning is actually "bogus" because without admin
rights the user can't install new apps but the apps have already been
installed by Domain Administrator on the second reboot so the user can use
them. If you push any new apps down they have to be installed by
Administrator ie if you later install MS OFFICE or something else.
