We have a windows 2003 terminal server. Our accounting application demands
that the logged on user (TS session) has local "power user" rights in order
to run the app.

In XP, you could add the domain user using the Control Panel applet "Users
and Passwords" where you could specify the domain the user belonged to -
hence giving the domain user logging onto that machine the appropriate local
rights...

This app is nowhere to be found on my Windows 2003 server and I am logged on
as the administrator.

How can I grant a domain user local rights on a windows 2003 server?

Thanks,

Brad

I wouldn't do this, you are in for big trouble with such a setup,
and it is never needed.

I would download FileMon and RegMon from
http://www.yqcomputer.com/ , start
a TS session as a normal user and try to run the application.

FileMon and RegMon will show you all "access denied" errors
that occur, so that you can give your users the necessary
permissions on a file-to file or Registry subkey basis.

Perfect. Thanks Vera... You are right - I do not like the idea of giving
users this type of access...

Identify the keys that the database needs... HACK IT.. run as user mode.
