    Ok, im building this server for a cyber center/gaming club thinggy. So i used Group Policy to lock down users accounts setup folder redirection etc etc.. Prevented installing by locking down the local hard disks. However, as always with anything i maye or build i miss something out, this time it was printers. When an admin has added the selected printers to a workstation they are only available to him. I removed users abilitys to add and remove printers to stop them playing about. Is there an easy way to automatically add printers from the directory to any user that logs on. Preferably not with a login script, but if it must be so...

    Seccondly, with 2k3 server you get the whole nice and friendly interface for adding users and what not. So i made some templates for the different user priveledges. There are:

    Visitors - locked down so they can't even breathe unless group policy says so.
    Buddys - same as visitors but have access to another share and to the power users panel on 2k3 sbs via terminal services
    tech buddys - basically admins
    administrators - well... they, are admins..

    In one way or another preferably the same for each i need buddys to be able to make buddys and users. Tech buddys be able to make tech buddys, buddys and users, and thats right you guessed it. Admins to be able to make the lot.
    HOWEVER! On SBS there are only 2 levels of template permissions. Administrative and Power User. Therefore it cant work, unless someone knows a way??..... Im sure someone does.. Go on, share the wealth..

    Thanks, Ben
