I've got my Win XP Pro machine configured as a member of
a domain. My domain user is a domain admin.

I had added the domain admin group to the local
Administrators group.

I then tried to add a network printer. But I got a
message that I did not have sufficient privileges. This
printer was a local printer to a Windows 98 computer. The
user shared the printer.

I then added my user account to the local administrator
group and it worked fine.

Should a member of the Power Users group be able to add
printers and the drivers necessary to support them?

Thanks

What you need to do, in order to get domain and local administrator access is to create a domain account that is a member of the Domain Administrators group, and then make that account also a member of the local Administrators group on the machine you're working on. ... e.g. if I am domain admin and type NET STOP SPOOLER as domain admin, you get Access denied on the local Vista system. ...
