On a new Server 2003 system Power Users Group is needed for the Quickbooks
Enterprise application.  When I did the "Member of" thing there is no Power
Users Group but there is a Power Users Group template.  How do I setup a
Power Users Group?  With the template?

Power Users is only available on Member Servers and Workstations.  On a
Domain Controller, there is no Power Users group.  If this is a DC, this is
why you cannot see this group.  If this is a member server, the group is
there.  I'm not sure what you mean by a group template.  Care to elaborate?

Thanks Paul, that explains the missing Power Users Group, it is a DC.  If I
promote the user to Power User on the PC will that give Power User rights on
the server?

The template is listed as an option when I go to the "Member of" tab for the
users server proporties.  I do a "Check Name" for Power and the Power Users
Group template is the only match.  I even selected it but I removed it when I
saw that it was a template.

No.  Power Users is a local group.  Therefore it is local to the computer in
question.  It doesn't extend beyond that system.
