I appreciate the links, but neither of them helps me any. All of our accounts are Windows NT 4.0 Domain accounts; they are not
local accounts on the Windows XP Professional workstations. The only way I've found so far to grant users the permission to install
applications is to either make them Domain Admins or to add their Domain accounts to the local Administrators group on their
workstation. Is there another way to accomplish this task without having to make them administrators on the domain or locally?

Thanks!
