I have spent my entire career working for one software company or another. Even this company is a software company though you wouldn’t know it from the name. Anyhow, I have yet to work at one where developers didn’t have local admin rights. For the most part they need it due to the nature of their job. That said, the rest of this stuff is utter BS. There is no reason they cant play along with the rest of the team. Ill bet while they go outside the channel for everything else, they never hesitate to call you when they have a problem. They need to get with the program. Unfortunately you are not going to be able to make this happen. Its going to have to come from up high. .

I am hoping you might offer your advice on a issue regarding local admin rights and domain membership for development employees. Our development team refuse to work with our policy on purchasing and support of new desktop computers. Development have been purchasing their own desktop computers, refusing to use our Exchange Server and not adding their computers to the domain, but using network resources with their domain accounts. They have full local admin rights and have run applications on the systems without consideration to other users on the subnet. This has now reached a fever pitch level after they expensed new desktop computers, so tomorrow a meeting has been arranged to discuss what to do. I have been set the task of explaining why their actions are not acceptable for the rest of the company and why they should not have access to our network, if they have local admin rights and refuse to join the domain. Development claim they do not need to be on the domain and they need local admin rights to install and run their specific software. If any of your have experience of this problem or have some observations I would really appreciate your advice.
