WTF do users need napster for on a business machine? Who tracks your licensing compliance?
I don't like users enough to give them that kind of access to my machines. As for desktop visits there are numerous methodologies for maintaining the software configuration of machines remotely and uniformly. I work enough hours without chasing down broken machines because someone decided to upset the balance and intsall a Zip drive. (BTW That is a specific shot at Iomega - not random.) ----Original Message Follows---- From: John Martinez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: "NT 2000 Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "NT 2000 Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: Permissions on IPCONFIG Windows 2000 Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2001 09:33:21 -0700 That's not what I meant. You and your team mates do not allow users to have local admin rights? What if they need to install Napster or an instant messenger? ;) I found that not granting local admin rights causes more visits to individual machines etc. If you have things secure on servers then you should be fine.

Does anyone know of a way to grant rights to allow users to run IPCONFIG / Release and Renew. I really do not want to add general users to that group if I can help it.
