Why is this a problem? That's how it's supposed to be. Allowing users to install programs creates problems for the IT staff. That's why users by default don't have the ability to install software.
If you insist on creating headaches for yourself, then go ahead and put the user account or worse, the Domain Users group as a member of the local administrators group. Do this by opening computer management and going to the users and groups area, expanding groups and clicking on administrators group. Then add "YourDomainName\DomainUser" or "YourDomainName\UserName" and that will make them administrators on the PC.
You CANNOT give users software installation rights without giving them administrator rights.
By the way, this also makes your network more vulnerable to spyware, adware, and viruses as these programs will now inherit the administrative rights you have granted the users and be able to more deeply embed themselves into the system as well as spread to other computers.
Good luck if you do this.

I have to agree with fdj1, why the heck are you wanting to install Windows Millennium?! You say you have the software? Good, then that CD/Floppy will do most of the work for you: it will format the hard drive, reinstall Windows, and then reinstall any of the programs that came with the computer. But you will loose all files and software that are not part of the OS when you do this, so backup your stuff. Also, make sure that your WindowsME CD/Floppy is a FULL version and NOT an upgrade disk. If so, it will only work if you have an older or equivalent version of Windows already running on the computer, so it won't work once windows has been erased from the hard drive as a result of formating. As far as the actual process... 1. Put the disk in the drive 2. Reboot the computer (make sure BIOS boot order is set to check the Floppy or CD drive first, go into BIOS setup to check that) 3. You should boot off of the disk and be allowed to prompt the following command: 4. type "format c:" if not just given as choice, the hard drive will start formatting 5. when done, type "setup:"

You must give the users the authority to install programs . Check two locations first the user account in control panel in the XP os and see if the user has the required privilage for installing and modifying programs if OK then go to active directory and change the type and the authority of the user from there. that should work

login as a domain admin on the workstation. Then go to the local users of the pc. Add the domain user to the local adminstrators group.

It really depends on what you want them to install. Some software can be installed using power users profile.
Example would be like Citrix Client. So it depends on what software you looking at and you can try to give them full access to certain drives instead.
Exaample. allow them D Drive full access to install there...but then not all softwares allow that..have to trial and error.
