Hi,
You need to remove your users from the Power Users group. Members of this group have the ability to become administrators if they choose to (or if a malware program they run chooses to). In the *best* case it is likely that the server will eventually have application errors and other strange issues and will need to be redone.
Use Process Monitor to determine which ntfs and registry permissions the database application needs to run. That way you can grant only those permissions that are necessary.
The most common case is read/write access to the app's registry key under HKLM, and modify access to the app's program folder(s) (for example, a folder under program files and program files\common files).
In the most *rare* cases you can use virtualization software to allow a stubborn application to run without high privileges.
This is not the case for you since your application will run okay with Power Users membership.
A member of the Power Users group may be able to gain administrator rights and permissions in Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, or Windows XP

Hi,.
Windows 2003sp2 terminal server. XPsp2 and Vista clients.
When the users log onto TS all the redirected printers are show on the
printers dialogue. At present there are 50 printers on view (Approx 5
for each of the 10 users). I think this is caused by the fact that
all users are "power users" on the 2003 server. Unfortunately this
"power user" status is required to allow a bespoke database
application to work. I'm aware that this a far from ideal but is
there a way for each user to only see their own "redirected" printers
not everyone elses. I could not see this in Group Policy only the
ability to disable printer redirection On or OFF. Most users use printer redirection but some of them are confused with
long list. This problem seems to have appeared or increased after I
enabled the "fail back" printer drivers after driver problems on the
server. Any suggestions would be most welcome. thanks
