Re: Client Setup Wizard Error



The initial setup of the user should be done as a local admin. After that,
log him out, then remove him for the local admin group on the workstation.
On subsequent logins he will get the "You must be a member of the local
administrators security group..." message, which he can dismiss permanently
by checkmarking the "Do Not Show Again" box in the message.

Hi,

Can someone please confirm something for me. When running a SBS2003
network, do all users logging on to the clients need to be local
administrators in order for the SBS_Login_script.bat and the
<server>\clients\setup\setup.exe /s <Server> call to work. I have one new
user that whenever they log on, they get a "You must be a member of the
local
administrators security group on this computer to install and configure
applications. Contact your network administrator".

I have seen various posts with a similar error and people have suggested
"Trying" a local administrator option. However I wonder is this is a
requirement that all users must be local administrators in SBS2003.

Thanks in advance.
