Subject: [mssms] Removing admin rights for users

I remember reading some of you saying your users do not have admin rights. We 
are about to start down that road and one of the concerns I have is for 
application deployment. Most apps can be installed as an administrator so those 
aren't of any concern but we have several small accounting apps that write to 
the user profile when installed and I'm wondering how others have handled apps 
like these. When something is installed as an administrator (which is the local 
system account, right?), does that still allow licensing info or other files to 
be written to the users' %appdata%, %localappdata%, or to HKCU? Have you run 
into any issues deploying software while users are not local admin? Its yet to 
be determined what rights we'll be giving them (power user vs standard user). 
I'd be interested in how you have your users set up and how that affects app 
deployment.

Thanks,
