Hello All,

Here is my problem in a nut shell. Today one of our DBA's came to us and
said he was tring to install a software product but was receiving an error on
his desktop. The error read "YOu must have Administrator privileges to
install this product." The problem is he has domain Admin rights, and his
account is accociated to the local admin group. When we log him in as local
admin he can install the product without issue. Why can't he install the
software while authenticated to the domain.

We have no GPO's yet and are running in an Active Directory 2003 environment.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Steve
