Question : Group Policy to allow software install

I am all new ot this group policy, pardon a newb question.  Win2003 AD, XP Pro desktops.  I want to create a new Group - call it PowerUser - for this group I want to allow a member to install software.  I will likely give a remote user membership to this group for a particular task, then take them of membership once that is done.  Can someone provide me a pretty striaght forward set of steps to do that.  We are a small company with only one domain and basically an out of the box AD setup.

Answer : Group Policy to allow software install

the only option i can think, would be to create the group, then use restriced groups to add it to the local admin group of each machine, and add your member to the group

That would be the easiest and quickest way
