In general, we do not grant local admin rights either. As long as apps are compliant with w2k, I would not expect many issues. We also host many apps on via citrix which removes this issue altogether. Also, you can use INF settings and set registry permission's via a gpo if desired to allow apps to run.

Thank You ! And have a nice day !

Re: [ActiveDir] Do you make your users local admins on their PCs?





Hi,
We are also a developement&support firm.
But, we dont give any admin rights on the local
machine as it becomes very troublesome in later time.

For managing an user application, we install it the
first time for a user. For the user to run the
application we give proper permissions(generally full
control) to the specific program & in some typical
cases to the associated registery hive.

Thanks
