I agree with you guys, too, but I have to do what the bosses say...until the user screws something up..then they'll listen...Of course, at that point I'll have to spend needless time cleaning things up... -----Original Message----- From: Aaron Dokey [mailto:adokey@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 11:21 AM To: 'windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [windows2000] Re: NT Administration Utility I wasn't the one who asked the question, I believe your responses are directed to Kim Barnes instead.

Under Win2kPro the user can make local changes to his workstation but sysadmin has to make them on the server for global users/groups. You do not want users that are not properly trained/skilled/experienced/trusted making any changes to the server/users/groups...I feel this is not good administration... They will just have to deal with coming to you for the changes necessary. Besides if the groups have been properly set up you can use AD (Win2kserver) to control the forest from the trees, so to speak.
