Local Admin access through Active Directory Jon LaBarge 04-06-2006

Is there a way to give a user the ability to install programs on local PCs
without adding them to the Domain Admins group?

We need someone to install software on 20+ PCs, but do not want them to have
domain admin rights. Can this be done without having to go PC to PC giving
them local access?

Thanks in advance!

You can add the user to the local administrators group on the computers that
you want to do this on. One easy way would be to put the computers into an
OU and link a Group Policy to that OU and configure Restricted Groups so
that a global group [will be Restricted Group] you create is added to the
administrators group [will be member of] . Then add the user to the global
group. The link below explains in much more detail. --- Steve
