When you say the applications need admin rights to run. I think you may want to be more specific about that. Admin rights include a lot of user rights. For example; Act as part of operating system. Add workstations to domain. Force shutdown from remote system.
So Admin rights are just way too powerful. You should try to find out what the application needs to function properly. Admin rights, is like saying you need an airplane to get from Florida to NY, but you could really accomplish that by taking a bus or driving a car or walking. As far as installing applications, I would not empower anyone with this right. Just causes tons of problems down the road. Before you know it, you have Bonzi Buddy on all of your damn workstations. -----Original Message----- From: Wes Owen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 22, 2002 10:46 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: Administrative rights How many out there do not allow administrative rights on the client systems? We are attempting to put all users into the Power Users group and I am sure you can imagine the stir it is creating. There are applications that require admin rights not only to install, but also to run. One of the manufacturers fix was to grant full rights to the Setup key, kinda defeats the purpose don't you think? If you do not put users in the administrative groups do you make exceptions for support and development staff? Do you use administrative accounts and only give support persons rights on admin accounts or do you give their user account all the rights?
