Ok here is a specific.
3/22/02 Create-A-Check requires full permissions to the following registry
keys be granted to the user in order for it to work:
H_KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
-SOFTWARE
-Borland
-CAC
-Create-A-Check, Inc.
Microsoft
Windows and/or Windows NT (NT/2000) (make sure rights are granted
for all noted subdirectories)
Current Version
- Setup
Install Extra
User also needs full control to the c:\Program Files\Common Files\Borland
Shared\ and the subdirectories. User also needs to be granted full control
to the network directory where Create-A-Check is installed, and all of the
subdirectories.
So if we open up the Setup key to everyone that pretty much kills much of
the reason for removing the admin rights. I am curious how many more apps
we are going to run into the behave like this. We have only tested around
75 of 600 applications to be tested.

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.

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?
