Unfortunately a lot of this depends on the individual application and how
well it's written.
Normally, you would log onto the client PC with either the Local or Domain
Administrator account, and install the application. It should then be
available to any user who logs into that PC, even though they're not an
administrator. If you have a poorly written app, you may have to make the
user an administrator, install the app under that user's account, then
return the user to ordinary non-admin user. Again if the app is properly
written, it should work fine for ordinary non-administrator users.
So the plan is to hope for the best. Log into one PC as an administrator
and install the app. Then have the user with regular non-admin rights log
in to his/her own account and test it. Hopefully all will work as
anticipated, and you can install on the rest of the clients. If the app
only runs with admin rights, I would contact their tech support and tell
them this is not acceptable, and you need to know what settings can be made
to allow the users to run with standard rights.

Hi,
I need guidance with rights and policy issues. I have SBS2003 and XP /
Vista
clients. I want to install applications on these local PC's. This
application
will load itself on both the local PC and server. The local user has
limited
rights (remote user). How do I install this application. An error pops up
informing that I be a member of the local administrator security group to
install on the local PC.
On the local PC
Do I logon as the local administrator of the client PC. ( I assume that a
password may have to be set for the local administrator) ?
Do I logon as the client user (remote user) ? If so, how do I install with
administrative rights if the application is self starting from a CD. The
exe
file may be difficult to locate on the CD because of the sequence of the
many
applications.
Do I logon as the server administrator on the local PC?
If I install an application with elevated rights will a user with lesser
rights have difficulty in accessing this application?

Thanks for the help
Jack
