Administrator software installs

[Benjamin Ryan]

We have several OU's withing active directory that each
have their own group policy applied. Oddly, despite
these policies being nearly identical they act
differently when installing software. When a computer
has a policy applied, even a user with in the admin group
cannot install software. As soon as you remove the
computer from the policy, and refresh (ie reboot) they
can install the software just fine. I have found a
couple policies that effect software install but haven't
found a way to allow just admins to install.
Thanks in advance!

Check Software Resrtiction Policies for computer configuration/enforcement
properties where you are given the choice to apply policies to all users or
exempt local administrators. --- Steve
