Hi,
I have installed most of the s/w as administrator username in one of the Client pc.After installation I have joined this pc to the domain & that pc does not have administrator access rights.So now i am not able to run some of the application in that pc & it is giving message as "only administrator have permissiion".
So please inform me how to give permission now in the server pc(os win 2000 server with Active Directory.) to this client pc to run the application.

Your 2000 server controls domain authentication. Once authenticated to the domain, all the computers in the domain will accept the controller's word that you are who you claim to be. A client computer will accept the authentication of a user by the controller or it will accept the authentication of a local user from it's own user list. This is just authentication and has nothing to do with permissions. Your permissions you want to grant are local administrator permissions and you want to grant them to a domain user.

Only an administrator has the rights to add someone to this list. When you first joined the domain, you were given the option of making a domain user a member of one of your local groups but probably didn't do so. You can still do this.

What you need to do is first make sure the domain user you want to add has already used this computer to log onto the domain (it creates a cached profile you will need). Next log onto the computer with a local administrator's account (you'll need to redirect the computer you are logging into on the logon screen to the local computer and not the domain). Do the following: start>settings>control panel>users and passwords. You should see the domain user in the list. Highlight it and select properties. Go the the group membership tab and make select the "others" button. Make the domain user a member of the local administrator's group.
