XP Power Users can't install Printers
Thanks for all the help on this one!!
I turned this in as a bug to Microsoft and got all kinds of response!! Problem: After Installing SP1 on XP, the power users group cannot add printers. Microsoft: This is by design, as part of security enhancements. Solution: The easiest solution is to make the user a member of the local admin group but that may not be what you need. So, access the local machines Local security settings. Expand Local Policies. Click on User Rights Assignment. Look for Load and unload device drivers. Double click this and choose to add a group. Click on object types and check the groups box. Say OK. Then click on Advanced, Find now. Select the power users group, or whoever you need. Bingo problem solved. Hope this helps someone else out there!! Thanks for all the help! Dale |
