I'm trying to figure out a way to get past the problem we have on our
network of giving all users local admin rights.
The problem is that we get called to users desks to fix issues and its
often a huge pain to make a simple change to a printer setting or a
driver when the user does not have admin rights. So in the past we've
just given users admin rights, but this presents an even bigger
problem of "I'm gonna install smileysearchbarp0rn for fun."
We want to restrict users to a limited account such as user or power
user, but we would like to come to their desk, push a magic button,
temporarily elevate to admin rights over top their profile do our
changes, and demote them back to a limited account.
Is this possible without having them close all their programs, log
out, log in as administrator, fix a printer issue, or an Internet
Explorer issue and then log back out and back in to test?
Thanks,
