RE: [ActiveDir]A bit OT: Creating Printers

Doesn't the ability to install a printer mean they have the rights to install a device driver? I think that means they have to have local administrator rights.   And if they have the ability to install a driver, they own the server anyway :)   -gil From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cothern Jeff D.
