Office Install

[Harold]

Ok I have searched the posts and here is the problem I am
having. I install office 2000 on a machine as a local
administrator from a network install telling it to run
all from harddrive. I then log in as a non administrator
and go to configure Outlook for that user. Outlook tells
me that the user must have administrative rights. Is
there a way around this? This makes me think that Office
was not designed for business... I don't want my users
having local admin rights. This causes way to many issues.

Thanks,
Harold

what group is your user assigned to? i have my users set
up as Power Users and haven't seen any issues with Outlook.

andi (got any job openings for a diver/life support
engineer???)

my users are just plain old domain users.

No job openings right now that I know of. Always looking
for volunteer divers though.

I have done some more checking and my users are members
of Domain Users. When they log in to the computer this
makes them a member of the standard users group (Power
users) group correct? Oh by the way these are all XP
machines. If they are a member of the local Power users
group why can't they configure Outlook for themselves. I
have to log in as administrator give them administrative
rights, logout, login as them, configure outlook, logout,
login as administrator, remove admin rights, and then
login as them again. This is a very large headache,
especially when there are more than one user on the
computer.

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. We are in
the process of upgrading all computers to XP Pro and
really don't want to have to do this to ~150 machines.

Thanks,
Harold
You may either send it to my email above (remove Capital

i read your other post. i am going out on a gimpy limb
here, but the problem may be with XP. i could be way
wrong. we have only two systems on XP at the office i'm
contracting at, otherwise it's Win2000. i won't want to
spend the time logging in and out of ~150 systems all day
either. hope someone else has an idea.
