Permissions to change the name of the computer in Windows XP

I have a user who I want to be able to have the permission to change the name of the computer that is connected to the domain.  When I try to change the computer name I enter the username and password in the popup box and then I get the following message: The following error occurred attempting to rename *.  Access is denied.  I know that this means that the user doesn't have permission to do this.  Can someone tell me what permissions they need?  I don't want to give them fo all administrative rights.

Thank you.

    A change is not always a "fix."  Sometimes, it's just a change.
     
    Pick one that allows you to boot to the desktop with a Start Menu/button as you're used to.

    Hi imoffshore,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    We would like to get some more information from you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.

    ·         When was the last time it worked?

    ·         Remember to make changes to the computer recently?

    ·         You have security software installed on the computer?

    ·         You get the error message?

    When you open the tab automatic updates in the control panel or My Computer property sheet, all options of configuration of the automatic updates may be grayed out. This happens due to one of the following reasons:

    1. You are not logged as administrator (or equivalent)
    2. Strategy of automatic updates is enabled
    3. Automatic updates (and Windows Update) access is blocked by group policy

    The options available for automatic updates.

    You must make some changes in the windows registry.

    Important: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
