We are implementing a new Program across our network. I
found out from the Manufacture(Siemens) that the program
needs admin rights to work properly. This Admin can be to
the local machine or the Domain.

Is there some way(configuration) to put all users in a
security group or something to this and give the security
group only access to this program and nothing else? If
so, How?


Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately you can not do that. They would need to be local administrators on
their machines. I would contact Siemens and say that it is BS that users need to be
administrators because of security risks and ask them if there is a W2K compliant
version or a work around as far as modifying ntfs and/or registry permissions to be
able to let regular users run the application without being administrators. I would
also try putting a user in the power users group to see if it would work, which is
not ideal but a lot better than making them an administrator. --- Steve
