Install Permission

[Karine Rivet]

We have Windows XP Professional workstations connecting to a Windows NT 4.0 Domain also running CSNW to connect to a Novell 4.x
server. Currently all of our users are setup as regular Domain Users which means they do not have the necessary permissions to
install applications. This is exactly what we want for the vast majority of our users, but we do have one department where we want
to be able to grant the members of the department permissions to install applications. Without making them Domain Admins or adding
them to the local Administrators group on their workstations, how do I make this happen?

Thanks!

I appreciate the links, but neither of them helps me any. All of our accounts are Windows NT 4.0 Domain accounts; they are not
local accounts on the Windows XP Professional workstations. The only way I've found so far to grant users the permission to install
applications is to either make them Domain Admins or to add their Domain accounts to the local Administrators group on their
workstation. Is there another way to accomplish this task without having to make them administrators on the domain or locally?

Thanks!
