Is it possible to grant the users the permissions they need to run the software by changing their setup in Computer Management --&gt; Local Users and Computers, or in Active Directory?<br />
<br />
Or can you install the software as the user? Again, you may need to increase user privs to do this. Not to Admin, but maybe Power User or something.

I've tried GeneriK's comments already but to no avail. It looks like I'll be using sramesh2k's suggestions, let the users log in as themselves &nbsp;but go around and start the app myself using 'run as'.<br />
Thanks to both of you.

I've just installed Microsoft Greetings on a number of machines and when logging on as an ordinary user I get the message &quot;If your computer is running windows 2000 or Windows NT, you must have administrative access privileges to start this program&quot;<br />
I know this has probably been asked before (but EE won't let me search even though I'm registered) but how do I get around this problem without including the users in the administrators group?

Access privileges when running software

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
