local rights when logging into a domain

[Eric@Regency]

How difficult is it to configure a user to have rights to
modify the registry when logging into a domain? If I
create a user and give them Administrator rights to the
local PC, everything works fine(i.e. let MS Office made
registry changes). But once they log into the domain,
they bypass the local user account......whats a quick fix.

Thanks

If you add their domain account to the local admin group, they'll have local
admin permissions on that machine. However, why do you need to do this?
Install Office fully with an admin account, and it should run fine even
without the user having admin rights. If that doesn't work, temporarily
grant them local admin rights, run Office once, and then take the rights
away and test.

I agree entirely, for Office the domain account does not
need to be a member of the local Administrators group.
Older versions of Office required that an Office suite
application (like Word) be started once by an admin,
any admin, after it was first installed. Thereafter the
per-user mini-setups can run without admin privileges.
