I believe that you need to be local administrator on the computers you
scan - at least for a full scan. By default a domain admin would be in the
local administrators group of domain computers and it would be easy enough
for a domain admin to add another domain user to the local administrators
group on the domain computers with a logon script if that would help as then
a non domain admin could scan and otherwise manage domain computers without
being a domain admin. . -- Steve
