add user administrator rights to install programs

[bowlerman]

i need to add a user in my ou's that needs to have the rights to
install programs. i have those rights because im a domain admin. my
other helper i made him a domain admin because of that and other
reasons. i dont want to give domain admin rights to this user but want
him to allow users to install programs. now, i added him to the
administrators\builtin group but it doesnt work. do i have to delegate
control to him and what do i pick to get it to work? thanks

Hello bowlerman,

Use Restricted groups in your policy's for that. Create a group, e.g. LocalInstall
add the users to this group and add the group to the Restricted groups. Be
aware that only members of this group will now have local administrators
rights. You also have to add the workstation administrator to this group.
