No, we don't want to go mucking about with the system groups. Other software that doesn't care about security might be broken in that case - it has to be a specific step by the admin.

You can remove it from the commandline using:
net localgroup "Power Users" interactive /delete

Hi,

I would say that the Installer executable always fails if NT/Interactive user is there in the Power User's group.
Can we enhance the code, so that just for installation it goes and removes interactive users prior to the actual
installation & once installation is successful add it back there?

Alternately does anybody know of a script which will do that?

Thanks & Regards,
Mehul
