Listing user privileges



Hi all, is there a simple utility I can use that will list all the
privileges a user has in a Windows 2000 environment?

A service I've develeoped is getting a failure to create a file on one
user's disk drive but not on another drive in the same system. The problem
is not fixed by granting the user that runs the service full access to the
base directory, but it is fixed by adding the user that runs the service to
the Domain Admins group.

I figure the only way to diagnose this is to work out what the privilege
difference between the user that runs the service as it is, and that user
when it's added to Domain Admins (I will test if the problem occurs if the
user is added to the Administrators group for the domain, which I believe is
the one with all the privileges).

I'd ideally like something that would list all the privileges a user has,
pref using the descriptive name not the symbolic name for the privilege, and
which group they were got through etc.

Or any other suggestions for tracking down this issue!

Thanks,
Dave
