Roaming profiles in WIn2k

[Darksamie]

I have set up roaming profiles on a win2k server for a load of users on Win2k pro machines. There is one thing that has me stumped however - When a user that hasn't previously logged on to a particular PC logs in, they are logged on with User level access instead of Power User.

Any ideas on how to change this so that the default for the domain would be power user for a successful login?

create a group that has the privlages you want, then place the users into that group.

Create a group on the server or the local machine?

I didn't really want to go to the trouble of creating a group on the server and modifying all the permissions for each user as this is quite time consuming.

Power user is a local machine built-in group. If you want to have domain users become local power-users, you have to place thier domain account in the local power users group.

To make this easier you can create a security group, place all users you would like to be power users into it, and then place that new security group in the local power users group on each machine they need access to.

You can do this without leaving your machine, if you have domain admin priv's. Just use computer management to connect to all the remote machines, you will have access to the local users and groups snap-in.

You could write scripts to accomplish this as well, but I don't have one to do this on-hand.
