According to KnowledgeBase article Q283252, the following user rights are
required for System Restore to work.

      . Manage auditing and security log
      . Take ownership of files or other objects
      . Shut down the system
      . Back up files and directories
      . Restore files and directories

I would recommend that you double-check your domain policy to be sure that
the proper users have these rights as well as the ones that Narayana listed.
