Quick update: Slim was correct. When a user is assigned Local Admin Rights they can install software and perform other rights.
Billy you pushed forward many of us including me to refresh or learn something new network-wise. Honestly me being copier engineer with modest overall networking skills following your thread with great interest and read many new(or forgotten ) stuff. Thank You for that!

Here's the mistake I made when assigning local admin rights. I hope that I can explain it. Here goes nothing....
When you assign Admin Rights, they are attached to a computer. Or multiple computers if you desire. This is done by the computer name being attached to a user. The mistake I made was I logged in using a local admin account on a computer that was already assigned to someone else. The solution was I added that computer to the appropriate group. Something like that.
Just a quick note and I'll stop beating folks over the head with this stuff. The name of the game in Windows Server is "groups." Groups, groups, groups. Even if it's only a single user in a department...set him up in a group. If not you'll regret it later if someone else is hired for that department.
Also, file sharing is taken to a whole new level in Windows Server. It'll blow you're mind.
Does anyone have any experience with "Folder Redirect"? Basically what it does is this: If a copier scans to a shared folder in the server, that shared folder can be set to redirect the document to other shared folders on other PC's.
