We currently have all our users as local administrators. A couple of years ago
we attempted to restrict our desktops, but fail short due to particular
applications requiring local permissions while the user themselves were logged
in.
We continue to fall flat when applications we do not want installed, example:
Google Toolbars, google earth, and Google search (most recent events).
The problem is that there are several web-based applications that are used
throughout our office that require installing plug-ins, Palm devices that
require administrator permissions to install, and other situations where the
past attempt failed.
The Run As does not always seem to be a valid option. Programs like the palm
will write several entries under HKCU, so logging into the workstation as admin
is not an option.
I have made several forum posts where people have question why we are using
Administrator permissions on our workstation. Am I missing something here?
Thanks,
