client xp admin rights

I am a Net admin for a company with about 40 users. We are running a windows
2000 active directory with user accounts.

I have been upgrading all of the OS's on the network from various different
OS's including Windows XP home and Windows Media Center to Windows XP pro in
order to get all the users on the our domain.

My question is in regard to the client administrative rights. Alot of the
software we run require admin rights for selective parts of each. As it
stands now, users are having to log ou of their user account and into the
administrative account on the local machine to install or run specific
programs. Is there a way to give users administrative rights on each desktop
machine, but within their user accounts on the domain. I have gone through
and assigned full control rights etc to these users, but with failed results.
I also assigned multiple groups and assigned users into those, without
success.

Any help would be appreciated

I think not. You have to add the network Domain Users group
to the local Administrators group.
