Not that I have tested in great depth but you could add the Desktop Technicians global group (assuming you have one) to the local Power Users group on the Print Server and then grant them 'load & unload device drivers' right on the print servers local security policy. From: Cothern Jeff D. Team EITC [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 07 March 2005 22:45 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir]A bit OT: Creating Printers Scenario:    Windows 2000 clustered server.  Mail on one node.  File share and printer share on the other node.      -          Need the ability for the Desktop Technicians that install the physical printers to install them onto the server.  -          Printers are setup using static IP’s and added to the server using IP ports. -          Do not want to give them local admin rights on the server.     Currently These select individuals are in the local admin group on the server which of course creates many problems in other areas that we don’t want.  Is there are way to give someone the rights to add a printer to the server without giving them admin rights to the whole server?  Not talking about Printer Operators group which allows them to manage printers that are already added.    Jeff   *********************************************************************************** This electronic message contains information from Hampshire Constabulary which may be legally privileged and confidential.
