I forgot to add that the domain user accounts don't have any access to servers or any machine other than their own.<br />

You would have to explicitly add their domain user account to the appropriate group for that to happen.

Most clients are Win2K or WinXP. &nbsp;A few are Win98 (to be upgraded shortly).<br />
<br />
I'm pushing for them to upgrade to Win2K for all the Win98 machines, but they'll probably be around for the initial domain setup. &nbsp;And I know that Win98 has no security per se anyway, so those users shouldn't be inconvenienced in any way.<br />

Thanks for the quick reply.<br />

Hello, folks,<br />
<br />
I'm in the planning stages of a small peer-to-peer network moving to a domain, which will be running Win2k Server. &nbsp;The company wants to maintain the users' ability to manage their own workstations. &nbsp;I don't want everyone to have admin access on the domain. &nbsp;How do you grant a normal domain user full access to their own machine, but restricted access to the server and the other machines on the network?<br />

Granting local rights to a domain user

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.
