I need to allow my users who are in the "Power Group" to be able to install software, WITHOUT adding them to administrator group...is there a way to do this by modifyig the local security policy? If so, what variable is it?

All Microsoft software 'should' (We all know what Microsoft is like!) have the correct permissions to install if the user is a Power User. Other companies software, well...your guess is as good as mine!

You'll be better off asking this over in Number crunching. All the gurus hang out in there. ;o)

yeah, I just cross posted over there....we'll see...I've been working on a local security policy for a while and I am hung on that part :/

Last time I checked on this, you can't get there from here. In Windows OSs, the administrator group is, by definition, the group alowed to install software. In Windows NT and 2000, if members of the Power Group you are talking about are all on workstations connected to a server (or cluster of servers), you can create "Workstation only" administrators. I am not sure if this works on server OSs past W2K, but it's worth a try.

Good luck
