This is going to come across as a scolding and
perhaps it is:
I'm not sure how you engage a client and install a
product you have no experience in experience in. It also seems that you
have limited experience in XP Operating Systems
Can you logon on to the workstation as a Domain
Admin?
If so, go to the control panel Users and
Passwords
Click on the Advanced Tab > Click on the
Advanced Button
Click on the Groups folder on the Left
Right Click on the Administrators Group on the
Right and choose Properties You will see who currently is a member of this
group...
There is an Add button at the bottom
Type in the Logon name of the person you want to
add click on Check Name if it underlines it found it...click
ok
Then just ok out of it...

All
- Thank you for the input and I'm glad you guys could find something to
agree on :).
However, I'm in a pickle here. I have very
limited experience with this
type of thing (active directory, permissions,
etc.). How, exactly, do I add
a user at the client as a local
admin? Does anything have to be done on the
server?
The
problems on the client are broad: We added an existing a machine (from
a previous user) to the network. All the easy stuff works (email,
Internet))
but the new user has no access to existing Office docs (they're
all shaded in
green; the ones in black she can get to). In addition,
she can no longer
perform some activities (publish from FrontPage, which I
think is related to
the access issue on 'green-shaded' directories and
file from the previous
user).
Again, I think I've got a very basic
problem here but I'm fairly
inexperienced on this stuff. Thank you
again for any help you can provide.
