Domain User in the Locale admin group

[Tom Eirik Jensen]

Hi !

Domain User in the Locale admin group on workstations !

Some programs need full access to the computer. I am using RIS to install
Win2K. Default settings is not domain user inn the locale admin group.

My question is how to do this ? On all 200 computers. Every time I have used
RIS. Give me a hint Thanks....

If you do run the following in GUIRunOnce (or cmdlines.txt if you're using
it), then any user logging in interactively (i.e. at the console) will be a
member of the administrators group.

net localgroup "administrators" "interactive" /add

However, it is much better to grant "Power Users" unless security really
isn't an issue.

Even better would be to figure out what the program is trying to do and to
relax the file permissions and registry permissions accordingly.

Better still would be to ask the vendor of the software in question to fix
their buggy application.
