Hello
We have more than 100 autocad 2000 users on our network
All are using Windows 2000 on their local machines.
Our A2k is a network installation.
My problem is that Autocad requires administrative priviliges for users on their local machines.
This is creating problems: we cannot prevent those uses from installing different Software on their respective machines which is sometimes creating chaos
Does anyone have a suggestion to solve this problem?
Search back through the Knowledge Base. There is a well known documented
solution involving reghacks, etc.
Personally, I found it easier to just install some software that profiles
the machines at night, and tells me if someone put something on them. Then I
jsut send an e-mail requesting that the software disappear. works like a
champ.

Actually, your CAD Ops just need Power User privileges to run AutoDesk
Products.
Power User does not allow users to install software.
Refer to TS67684 on the Autodesk KB for more details.
Good Luck,
Don Sauvage

I have the same problem but as the one above, I have assigned users to be power users but still the problem persist. They still can not use Autocad. Does anyone have any idea?
Administor rights required to run AutoCAD?:
With your installation seemingly complete you now start testing. Depending on your environment, it may not be long before you realize that those simple Domain Users cannot open AutoCAD without getting registry errors. Autodesk recommends that your AutoCAD users have Power User rights. If your clients also receive this error there are some registry key permissions that can be edited. Edit the following keys so that “Everyone” has “Set Value” rights:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AutoCad.Drawing.15
I have Successfully managed to Deploy through SMS and Use AutoCAD2000i as a Restricted User on Windows 2000. I did have to make some minor changes to the ACAD.msi in the IMAGE folder to tailor the Install for our environment but that was it. Below are the Registry Keys and Folder Permission required to get it working as a User. This is how I got it working but as usually take a backup of the Registry before you try anything - I don't accept responsibility if anything should go wrong.
Registry
---------
HKCR\CLSID\{8E75D913-3D21-11d2-85C4-080009A0C626} - Full Control to User
HKCR\CLSID\{83836783-4E7A-11D3-8300-0060B0EF5B11} - Full Control to User
HKCR\AutoCAD.Drawing.15 - Full Control to User HKCU\AutoCAD.Drawing - Full Control to User HKLM\SOFTWARE\Autodesk - Full Control to User
Files/Folders
-------------
"%SystemDrive%\Program Files\AutoCAD 2000i\Sample - Full Control to User
"%SystemDrive%\Program Files\AutoCAD 2000i - Write/Read/Execute Control to User
This worked for me. No ill effects yet... Thanks much!
