Installed Win2000 on WinNT workstation.
Set user access account for user to Power User. Power user is supposed to be able to let the user run applications. But watch out for Norton Antivirus 2000. When accessed to run a scan it tells you that you DO NOT have rights to the local drives. ARGH!! Symantec's website does not have a fix and neither does Microsoft's website. Any suggestions other than giving the user Administrator rights?
HElp
you could try having the norton service run as a different user (local? with admin rights??)
that would make it happy...
look for anything that has nav in it...
also check what user the startup shortcut for norton is using (might be able to change that) (right click run as.. - i think (dont have it infront of me))
Running the scan does work with a user with administrator rights. But Power user level rights are supposed to let the user have rights to run applications. We let the users run the manual scan weekly. Also updated the antivirus and installed Windows 2000 Service Pack 1. Still as power user access i receive drive not seen errors but the program still will work.
First off, try installing Norton AV with the local administrator account B4 joining any domain, and before adding any local users. If after joining the domain, or adding local users, this still does not work, try going into regedt32 and edit the security permissions for HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Symantec make sure that the Everyone group (should have Special Access by default) has the Create Subkey value checked, if it does, try changing this to Full access for the everyone group, then apply this to all sub-keys. (the norton key ONLY!) This should work (note this is only a workaround) as there are known issues with NortonAV and NT/Win2k.
