" ..I have had to set-up local machine accounts with non-admin rights,"
I'm not sure how that addresses the OP's original question. In any case, we set up a separate domain account (prepended with "aa"), and grant that account Admin privs on the laptop, and then cache those credentials on the laptop before it goes out the door... -sc -----Original Message----- From: Ben Scott [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, October 19, 2009 1:52 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: temporarily allow remote users install perms On Mon, Oct 19, 2009 at 1:45 PM, Steven M.

For a few people who mostly live in the field, I have had to set-up local machine accounts with non-admin rights, with a different username and password, and given the users some instructions. They have to sign some forms that include some fairly ominous language about threat of termination and legal action. I don't routinely run as a local admin on my *own*, personally-owned laptop. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
