Burning rights for Nero under XP???

[mattbta]

Tried the search with no luck, so I'll query your knowledge base.

I installed the latest NERO as an admin logged into my domain on my XP box. It runs fine under anyone with Admin privileges/rights. However, when I use my wife's log in which is just a "user" in the domain, it tells me for NT/2000 Nero needs burning right to be assigned for this user.

On the XP box, I've granted her login full R/RW/M/E rights for the whole Nero folder including the nero.exe file. Then I've also given her full access rights to the burner which is installed on that box.

Still no dice.


Anyone have an idea?

Much appreciated,
Matt

All CD Burning programs(inlcuding Nero), require direct access to the hardware. Only Administrators have that. If you want your wife to be able to use Nero, you'll have to make her an administrator.

Already answered a similar question in the Software forum....

Under windows 2000, it should be the same in windows XP, you need to enable the security policy named something like
"only allow cd-rom access to logged in users" then Nero will work....

I'm at home right now, so I can't give the exact directions, but pull out the security policies console in the MMC and find a
policy similar to that....

Allright, I'll give it a whirl in the MMC for security policy. If no dice...I'll have to figure out some other arrangement. Heh, can't have the wife as a domain admin. I guess I could set her up as an admin of that computer tho. Could be dangerous.

Thanks!

Found the original response thread. Read this:
Nero permissions!!!

Exact directions at middle of the thread! At least for windows 2000...

The Help file in Nero also tells you about this, and tells you how to fix it with a Nero property setting.

I saw that option tooling around in the security policies, but the problem is, none of my users (namely me and my wife) are logged in locally...ever! We both authenticate to the DC and login under the domain.

I'll look in nero's help file tonight when I get home.

As long as you have administrator priveleges in that machine, you can add the domain controlers "users" group
to the machine's "users" group and so all of the login should be considered local....

What I think local means in this issue, is a user who is sitting at the computer opposite of a user that logs in
by the net from another machine...

Actually, a "local login" is defined by MS to mean a user authenticating to the local server, eg an ID that has been defined on the local machine rather than the domain. But, the local security policy refers to a "local login" as as someone sitting down at the machine. Go figure.

The DOMAIN\Everyone group is by default made a member of the LOCAL\Everyone group on every member device. Same thing with Domain\Administrators and other default groups like Users.

Usually you refer to someone sitting down at the PC to be a "console" login.

Yeah, go figure.

I got a chance to try that out this AM and it did in fact work. Strange logic with MS, eh?

Thanks for all your help. My wife is happy, and she won't have access to accidentally stumble accros my i386 folder that isn't in the boot drive.

I never noticed that I could not burn CDs when logged in under other user accounts. Cool thanks for the 411.
