Is there a resource out there somewhere that fully
enumerates the differences between the Power Users and
Users local groups under Win2k?

We have a Terminal Server that we're trying to set up with
reasonable security. One of our apps absolutely will not
run properly unless user is a power user. We have done
security auditing and cannot find any failed object access
attempts (so it doesn't appear to be NTFS security
related?).. The only thing that we have been able to do
so far to get app to run is escalate user to power user or
local admin.. We _really_ don't want to go that route. So
I'm trying to look at differences in users / power users
in detail to see what's going on here. Any help
appreciated.

Sorry to crosspost, don't know where this one goes..

Thx, Chuck
