Our organization has Windows 2000 servers, with 2000 and XP clients. All
clients login to a domain. All users on clients were set up as
Administrators. If I change them to Standard Users, desktops change, and
programs do not function. Any sugguestions. In the past users could do
whatever they wanted to with there machines. I want to prevent that.

Thanks,
Lisa

Maybe I'm not reading the issue properly, but it sounds like you need to
change them back to Administrators so they can have the privileges you
mentioned. There are other also other User types in between that may satisfy
what you want such as Power User

I have tried all levels. They only one that allows the desktop and office
products to run properly is Administrator.
