Rights to run Server Manager from client?

When we ran a Windows 2000 domain, I could appoint a certain number of
selected staff members as "Server Operators". This enabled them to use
Server Manager to disconnect sessions for students who had not logged
off properly.

Since we moved to Windows 2003-R2 (SP2) such a staff member can open
Server Manager and when he/she clicks on a Domain Controller, he/she
can control sessions. However when clicking on a Member Server, the
message "Access is denied" is displayed

As administrator equivalent I can get into both DC and Member server.
It just affects "Server Operators". Client computers are Windows XP
SP2. The server manager executable is V5.2.3790.1127. In all cases,
SVRMGR.EXE is kicked off from the server share, not workstation (ie. \
\server02\reskit\srvmgr.exe)

Is there some sort of security setting that I need to check on the
Member server?

Thanks

add your staff members to Power Users group on the servers you want them to
manage...
