Ok, here was the problem. It is now out of my hands, but I still want to know the answer.

I had to log on to a faculty members computer with MY managers domain account. It was running Windows NT 4.5. I needed to log in with this account because I had to pull software off of the Domain, and his account has those permissions. However, when I tried to install Outlook 2000, it tells me that the software is going to make changes to the Windows Environment, and that I needed to log in as the administrator of that local computer to allow for those changes. Now, if I do that, I can't access the software.

Basically, is there any way in Win2k/NT that you can log in to a domain account, and then somehow also login as the local administrator. I know the obvious solution is to give that adminisrator account pull domain priviledges, but that's not an option.

Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question, and I'm figuring you can't, but is there any way around this?


Thanx in advance for you help.

Make the domain account a member of the local admins group on the workstation.
