Add a user on WinXP SP2 for W2k domain server
Hi folks,
I added a new workstation (WinXP SP2) to an existing W2K server environment. I am able to join the domain ok, and login as the existing user. However when I installed QuickBooks and one other software product, they don't run because there are insufficent rights for the user.
I looked at the users listed, in Management Console (on the local workstation) and it only lists the 2 local users, Administrator and XYZ user that I added at startup. If someone could refresh my memory on the procedures for adding a domain user to the local computer list so I may give the user sufficient rights for the programs. I think this is what I need to do? Currently it shows 3 users under documents and settings but only 2 in the management console, users.
thanks,

I'll give it a try. I do believe you are both correct. I know QuickBooks says they only require Power Users, however I've had mixed results in the past and usually end up making them Administrators. I 'm almost sure both procedures work to add the user.
