Re: Need to give Power Users access to Local Disk Management

Though I am not sure if this will resolve the problem there are some
configuration settings in Local Security Policy that may help. First I would
try going to local policies/user rights - perform volume maintenance tasks
and set that to include power users. Then under local policies/security
options - devices :allowed to format and eject removable media can be set to
administrators and power users that may be worth trying if nothing else
helps. --- Steve

Hello

I have a requirement in a client site to give access of Local Disk
Management to Power Users. They have 2 removable hard drives which
they use for backing up onto, however when they insert a disk after
removing the other they have to initialize the disk again before they
can use it. I have Veritas on the server which has a backup job set to
write data to a certain drive letter on this PC with the removable
HDD's. I think I am having to initialize the disks because they are
setup on the same drive letter for the backup, does this sound right??

At present I have made them a local administrator, however this is far
from ideal and would like to make them a Power User ASAP. Is there a
way to give a Power User access to Local Disk Management?? I have had
a quick play with group policy on the local machine however I have not
been able to work it out.

Regards,
Jonathan
