Question for all guru's in Win2k, I have quite a few Win2k pro pc's on my network, and "Normal" end users are not able to install applications or modify their print properties.

How can I give end users more priviliges to their machines so the can do the simple tasks, but yet not give them the world?


Network is setup with Windows 2000 servers running AD, in Mixed mode.

I think its a policy issue, but like most of you our schedules just don't allow a lot of free time to look up or find where to look up this information. :|

Thanks for help in advance. 🙂

As far as installing apps goes, there is a GPO setting called "always install with elevated privliges". I have used this with much sucess on my network. That said I can only confirm that it works with *.MSI installer. In fact, I am almost positive it only works on MSI. It is worth a try though. User Config /Administrative Templates/Windows Components\Windows Installer.

Allowing users more control over printers is relatively easy. Make a security group with the users you wish, and then add it into the security sheet of the Printer properties. From there just toy with the advanced permissions untill you get something you are comfortable with.

The other alternative is to go with power users over users, but you are probably aware that power users is a pretty strong security group. I don't feel well giving this out to most users
