WinXP: Can I set up local access rights from the network?

[SirXcalibur]

I have a department where mulitple people use mulitple workstations. I have their profiles stored on the server. However, because their account may not have local admin access to the workstation, there are problems opening certain programs.
Is there a way to set up those local access rights from the network, or do I have to go to each workstation and set up each user individually on it? I would just like to avoid that time consuming chore if I could.

I don't know if it differs between domain and workgroup setup, but if you right click on your local xp 'my computer' icon and select manage you can set users access rights in the user management, such as making someone a power user rather then a full blown administrator.

Now, you can also right click at the top of the tree where it says 'Computer Management Local' and select 'Connect to Another Computer', and you should be in good shape as long as you have admin rights to the remote PC.

Good Luck~
