I know this is an easy one, just having a duh! day........

I want to change the user on two W2K pro clients that I have attached to
my SBS. Added the users to SBS as "users", same as I always do. When I
log in to the win 2000 machines I get...

"You must be a member of the local administrators group on this computer
to install and configure applications. Contact your network administrator"

I would prefer not to use the connectcomputer string on these machines.

What am I doing wrong?.....or not doing?
