Not a perfect fit, but look into software solutions that provide limited access to developers for certain tasks and offload admin tasks with sacrificing your control of the box.
Here are a few: Custom error page deployment: www.customerror.com Caching policy management by file type, directory or specific file: www.cacheright.com Best, Chris -----Original Message----- From: tech forum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 22, 2003 2:31 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: OT Local Admin rights for developers Gurus of the list, I work for Software company with a windows 2000 network. 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.
