Hi Folks,

 

JUST starting to get PC's in with Windows XP Pro. We have a mix, but the
majority of PC's currently are W2K Pro. In that you have the Administrator
account and then you can obviously create a User account and have as
choices:

 

Standard

Restricted

Other

 

And you can pretty well "tailor" things within those.

 

In XP Pro you set the "boot" Administrator/password and the have to setup up
a PC "Administrator" and then can create a "User" account. And when you do
this you get:

 

Computer administrator

Limited

 

So what is the correlation between W2K Pro and XP Pro ?

 

I'm "thinking" the Computer administrator on XP Pro is not near as powerful
as the Administrator on W2K Pro - is that correct ? They even say that if
stuff won't run, etc. as Limited then choose Computer administrator. 

 

So maybe I am thinking of XP Pro in the wrong light - Administrator on W2K
Pro is the "boot" Administrator on XP Pro and then the "regular user" on W2K
Pro is the Computer Administrator on XP Pro ?

 

Thanks for any help !

 

Chuck
