non administrator users can not run program

[bookouri]

We just added our first 2000 workstations to our nt4 domain. We have run into one application that refuses to allow anyone other than administrator on the local machine to run. We have tried creating users on the local machine based on administrator but these users can NOT run the program. Even though their accounts are identical to administrator they can not run the program. We have seen this on a couple of applications and can not find any work around for it.

any help, suggestions would be appreciated

Are these users logging onto a domain on the network? If so, they will need to be added to either Power User or Administrator.

You can do this by going to Control Panel/Users and Passwords, then click on the Advanced tab and then the advanced button. Click on the Groups folder and double-click on administrator on the right window panel. Click on add to add a user.

I hope this helps.

You could also use the run as command. Look in windows help -> Run as command, in shortcuts

Example: To create a shortcut for a command prompt window with administrator credentials, in step 2 type: runas /user:machine name\administrator cmd
