This wouldn't hold water in the case of a brand new computer. Because nobody has modified the local administrators group.

Local user rights are maintained on the local SAM of each separate workstation. They are not maintained on your PDC or BDC. Check the local groups on the computer and see who is a member of the local admins group. And if your domain admins are not a member of the local admins, it should be. Do me a favor and just check.

I bet if you checked the local user rights assignments of your existing users, you would see that their current account is a member of the local admins group. There may (and probably is) a dirty workaround involving editing the registry and setting perms on certain folders, but IMHO, if your users need to install printers locally, and they are still using NT 4.0 ws, this is what needs to be done.

I have a Windows NT Server based network 1- PDC 1- BDC - the workstations are Windows NT 4.0 I have an issue that I was hoping for some help. When I add a new user to my domain, making sure they are in the correct groups - they are unable to add printers to any workstation they log in to. They get an error claiming they do not have sufficient rights to access this machine because a driver needs to be loaded locally. In addition we loaded I.E. 6.0 on all stations that contains a proxy server setting to our proxy server. When these new users login the settings are not there. All existing users can add printers and maintain settings (about 600 users), If I copy an existing user to a new user - they new user can not add printers or hold settings. I have 1 existing user that is experiencing this as well. Any help or suggestions would be welcome, I have to add 300 new users soon, and printing and Internet access would be useful;-).
