registry issues

We have just moved from a peer to peer network to a MS Small Business Server
and are having some kind of permissions/registry issue.

Whenever you start ADT you receive and error "Failed to update registry, use
regedit." then ALL the AEC components cannot be found and fail to load.

If I make everyone domain administrators it works fine. I don't want open
admin access so is there are way around this?

The workstations are running Win2000 and the Small Business Server is
running NT4.0.

Since it al works when I grant everyone Domain Administrative Permissions
could I make a new group and give that group the ability to do whatever ACAD
wants to do with the registry? How do I go about doing that?

You should be able to give them privileges to the registry without giving them domain
admin rights. See TS55765 for a list of require rights to run on w2k.

On the server, place your folks back in Domain Users. On each workstation,
add Domain Users from the server into the workstation's Power User or
Administrator group. (I think you can get away with just Power User, but
I'm not sure.) This will give them local rights to their workstation's
registry (and the ability to install programs, ugh) but "normal" rights to
the server.

Enjoy,
Stef

Do you have acopy of the tech doc.? I did a search for it in the knowledge
base and it reported the link back to me. However when I clicked the link to
Running AutoCAD® 2000 as a Domain User on Microsoft® Windows 2000 it
reported that the page could not be found. Great....

Tried a different route - typing the name of the document instead of the
number. For some reason the resulting link worked this time.
