Re: user rights

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Server rights and workstation rights are two different things. For users to install applications on the client machines they need administrative rights on the workstation (local administrators). On the server you can have them on any user group you want.

As far as AVG and Vista goes, there must be something else going on. UAC doesn't affect the application. Try re-downloading the version you try to install and see how it goes

Is there a discussion/summary of user rights for SBS 2003 somewhere? I have a
business owner who does not want users to have administrator rights to the
server, but he would like them to be able to install software on local
workstations. What rights should users be given at the server to accomplish
this?

Along this same line, AVG antivirus on a Vista Business workstation fails to
load for either administrators or users unless UAC is disabled. When UAC is
disabled it will load for domain administrators but fails for normal SBS
users.

Can someone shed some light on this situation for me?

Thanks
