How to add Rights

[Philip Lee]

Greetings to you,

I have a peer to peer network in office with one
workgroup. And all stations are running Windows 2000
professional. I am trying add Rights to some users so
that they can install and remove programs and doing some
other things without logging out and logging in as an
administrator.
I tried the instructions in MS knowledge base Q234237
Q270032 but did not work. Any suggestions ?
Thank you !

Philip

The KB you reference is a logon locally user right that will not help in what you
want. Ideally a network is in a domain and can use Group Policy to publish and assign
authorized .msi packages to users. In your case you may need to try elevating users
to the power users group which is still much less powerful that an administrator and
will allow them to install a lot, but not all software. --- Steve
