client application security

Hello,

I'm not a sys administrator but unfortunately stuck making a client app
work. Right now I'm testing with just a Win2000 server and one Win XP
client to the domain. I have an app that will run on the client PC. The
app was installed while logged in as a local administrator to the client.
When logged into the client as a local Administrator the app starts fine.
When logged into the domain as administrator (from the client PC) the app
works fine. When I log into the client as a member of the Domain Users
group the client app hangs on it's splash screen ( I have to kill it with
Task Manager). I have not changed any of the default Win 2000 Server
permissions since installation.

I can't imaging what permission would keep me from running an application on
the local hard drive from the client machine.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Regards,
WH

Have you tried installing the application while logged on
as the client using the run as command?
Are the Domain Users, Power Users on the local workstation?

Problem solved. The application need to write to the registry on startup.
I had to put my domain user login as a member of Power Users on the local
workstation.
Thanks.
