How can I allow users to install applications in Win 2000 pro? Anything that requires registry editing will be blocked except for admins. I am using Nt4.0 domain controlers, with Win 2000 workstations. If upper management wants to install an application, I need to allow them to do so without giving domain admin rights and still not making them do anything elaborate. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I looked at the policy editor on the workstation, but nothing there seemed to do the trick. Am I missing something trivial? I can't believe others are not in the same situation.

Thank you,
RY

Normally, you could just add the user's domain account to the local administrators group using usermanager when logged in to the PC in its local domain. However, I have had laptops that still will not allow certain apps to be installed. It worked well in NT though, so I am not certain as to what the problem was. You could give that a shot though.

Thanks Clutch,

It seems like I am having the same problems as you did with your laptop. I appreciate the reply though. I have been giving local administrative rights to the users, but was hoping there would be a better option.
