That would seem to be the case, however, I do not know for sure. I would be
concerned about making anyone able to logon to the server an administrator
at that time without finding a way to ensure that the unqualified will never
be able to logon there. Whether this is done through physical security or
withholding local logon rights does not matter - so long as it works
consistently.

You can use Group Policy Restricted groups to add specific users to the
local Administrators group of your domain member computers. See the links
below for more info on Restricted groups.

hi all,

i was wondering how you give rights to a user logging into a domain
computer, so that they can install software. I dont want them to have admin
rights all over the network, but do want them to update certain programs we
use internally.

is there a way to give them app install rights w/o being domain admin?

thanks,
george hardy
