Windows 2000 user settings

Could anyone please tell me how to set up a user in a Windows 2000 network. I can set the user up on the server, but the problem I have then is that the user cannot install software/printers without logging out and I have to log on as administrator to complete the install. The users show on the network and in the right groups but O don't know where to change the settings to let them install their own software.

Thanks

Gary

Thanks for that. Could you just confirm for me though, that the rights of the individual signing on to the network doesn't overide the machine settings???

How do you mean?  Can you give an example?
So if I give someone administrator rights on the network, does that give them admin rights on the computer they sign in on and allow them to install printers/programs.
Generally yes.  By default all workstations that are members of the domain list "Domain Admins" as administrators in the local Administrators group. It is possibly that someone could remove Domain Admins from the local admins group, then the domain admin WOULD NOT have admin access to that system.
Thanks for that..

Appreciated
