Hi, Sorry to ask this here but i'm on my way to setup exchange, and have the active directory setup. however i can't figure out how to set everyone that logs in as local administrator on that computer that has logged in.i have setup the Local Administrative Group and all that but they don't seem to be workingany clue as to where i could find some answers / reading material?thankscheers!

I can understand why you would want each client to be an administrator on their local machine but I don't see the connection that has with you getting ready to install Exchange. As for assigning the permissions you can probably write a script to do that: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/qanda/sept05/hey0923.mspx or employ the Restricted Groups GPO. http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/562321.html

while i was at it, i wanted to give users right to install programs on their computers (i trust the users).. but didn't want to enable them to connect (remote desktop for example) to the Active D. server ......i found the setting by browsing around...cheers!
