Domain User as Local Admin - am I going mad? (Server 2003)

[Michael]

So - are we saying that if the user is a local admin, despite being logged on as a domain user ON the domain, they will pick up the local admin stuff and not the domain?
I just want this user to pick up the redirected folder!!

Yes, that's correct about the local user bit. If you only want that user to pick up a redirected folder/shortcut, you need to place them lower down the chain - for example:

Curric OU > Curric Users OU (this is where all pupil objects and the necessary GPO would be linked). Create another sub OU and link the GPO:

Curric OU > Curric Users OU > Library User OU (Place the library user here and link a GPO here). GPOs last in the chain will take priority.

I created 'library' as a 'Staff' user and it is with all the other staff users which do get all the redirected folders etc. Should it be somewhere else then?

The Micro Librarian thumbprint reader is a pain in the backside on XP too - also needs local admin rights if it's any consolation.
