Guest jcpub Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Our Business Manager has an upgraded version of DAC Easy. One change to the upgrade is the user needs to have administrator access. Her login to the network is a normal user with limited rights. How can I change her login settings so that she has enough rights to run this payroll program? For now I have her log off as a user and then we log her in as an administrator while she runs payroll. I am not concerned with this person having administrator rights since she is already my backup for checking the server for overnight backups and various logs when I am out of the office. Thank you.
Guest Danny Sanders Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Re: Change User Permission You can add her domain account to the local admin group on her PC. This way she is an administrator on her PC and a "user" on the domain. Of course you should educate this user about the possible problems one can run into browsing the Internet under an administrator account. You may want to treat this computer as a possible vector for virus infection on your domain by making sure it is patched, virus protected and keep the virus software updated at least weekly. hth DDS "jcpub" <jcp@jcpub.com> wrote in message news:1185461510.578620.19610@l70g2000hse.googlegroups.com... > Our Business Manager has an upgraded version of DAC Easy.

Download ProcessExplorer from MS (it's a Sysinternals tool) and extract it to a folder on the workstation's HD Take away her admin rights. Log in as her Use RunAs to launch ProcessExplorer Try to run the app See where it fails ....you'll need to play with the filter settings to see where in the registry/file system it's trying to read/write & failing. As an administrator, change the registry and file system permissions appropriately so Users have access Oh, and complain loudly to the software developers. This is just plain sloppy code.
