Jason, I'm interested in the "compatws" security template. We have a very locked down enviroment and it can be a pain to install a simple piece of software. I normally have to go through and make security changes to the file system and registry for users to have access to software. Could you give me some more info on this template.
Thanks Lee -----Original Message----- From: Kopacko, Jason [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 26 September 2001 20:22 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Power User Rights Eric, You really don't want your users to have 'Power User' privileges. I would suggest you install the applications and then apply the 'compatws' security template to the laptops. That allows users to use applications that would not normally run unless the user was part of the Power User group and protects your registry and other system files from people who like to 'snoop' around.

I added them to the Power User group locally, but as soon as they login to the domain, they lose all of their privileges. Anyone have any ideas what I have to do on the server to give them this right without giving them full administrative privileges? I am having trouble figuring out where to give them rights - in group membership, group policy, file system? Thanks in advance, ~Eric ************** Eric L.
