Question : Can't install software after connecting to domain

I have sbs2003. I have 4 machines xp pro connected. I had to replace 1 machine. After I connect new machine and connect to domain. Computer does show up in AD computers. I logon as user and can not install software. Says I need admin rites. Logon on old machine it lets me install no problem. Is there something I need to do on the workstation before I connect to the domain?

Thanks for any help!

Answer : Can't install software after connecting to domain

One way is to login to the computer as domain admin, go to Manage My Computer -> select Local Users and Groups -> double click on the Administrator group and add the domain account (you wish to install software with) to the group.

This will give the domain user account local admin privilages and should be able to install software. However, this isn't a good solution if local computer security is important. It will not affect domain security.
