WINDOWS SERVER 2003 LOGINS WITH LOCAL CONTROL

When I add a user to the Domain and they log in locally they are not able to install certian things like printers and etc.  I am in an envoirnment where the user might have to install something.  I checked Domain Controller Settings under "Local Policies" but I have no found anything on this.  What needs to be done to make this happen?

you will need to add the local user to the local administrators group
They need either local admin/power user permission on the workstation or they need delegated control from Active Directory.

Unless there's issues in a site I usually grant local admin rights to Domain USers...

start / run / compmgmt.msc / local users and groups / groups / administrators /
add the local user (<= you asked)
and
add the domain user (<=if the user may do administrative tasks if necessairy on that workstation)
See this article to globally add domain users to local admin group:
