I had an experience today where I had to log in as the local Administrator AND put the user in the Power User group just to get the software to run when the use was logged on. I tried installing under my account which was a Domain Admin account which is by default part of the local Admins group but it still did not work. I then tried logging in as myself and the user as a Power User and it still did not work until I installed it as the local Admin + Power User.
This does not answer your question completely but tells you what might happen if you try to install "non-MS compliant" software on a W2KPro machine in a W2K Domain and have users as a standard local user group from the domain user group. -----Original Message----- From: Sabo, Eric [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 09, 2001 5:58 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: "power user" vs. "USER" local group on w2k professional Does anyone have any information about this topic? I am trying to determine what is the difference between "power user" local group vs. "user" local group on an Windows 2000 professional. Technet article q217050 describes a little but I need more details then this article has. What is everyone on the list giving their end-users?
