Yes it should work for Office97 also as well as any other app that need to modify the Reg at first run. I have to run Access97 for our student information system and currently after I reimage a machine I need to logon as administrator and run Access before anyone else can use it. I just found out yesterday that I could do this with GPO's so I haven't researched which Reg Keys I need access to for the apps yet. Just did it with PageMaker because I found the key on Adobe's Site.

If so, what would the reg keys be that I need to reset the perms on? Thanks Troy -----Original Message----- From: Keith Nelson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2001 2:32 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Power User Rights If your running a Win2k Shop (Pro and Server using AD) I just found out a cool GPO feature yesterday. You can add registry keys to the GPO and set the permissions on them. Prime example is PageMaker 6.5, You need to be a member of the PowerUsers Group just to launch the program. So I added the Reg Key to the GPO and set the permissions so anyone or a special group can have write access to that portion of the registry. It also has options of setting permissions of Files and Folders on the HD. I thought this was realy cool.

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.
