Need Help to solve rights problem

[Vicky Sam]

Dear All,

One problem and loop hole or problem. Any one can help me out to give me
solution on my doubt? My vendor given me one software for accont like pay
roll and other account purpose. I install on server for central database and
as well as on client systems. But problem is that if user wants to use this
software then they have local administrator rights on that system without
that they can't do anythings. I given him power user rights and others also
but not working then I put it in to local admin group then its work. Some
user are very clever they playing with my systems also they install some
software on that also because they having rights on local systems. So any
solution to bypass local system admin rights option so user can use their
application without given them local system rights.

Thanking you.

Yours truly,
Vicky.

I would suggest rejecting the software, and having the vendor supply
something that meets you needs and also respects how dependent
your business is upon having a healthy, reliable computing system.
If this application is QuickBooks, then you should know that they
have been extremely resistant to fixing this major problem with their
software, but have recently indicated that things will now change
(IIRC in the 2007 version) so that it does not insist on having
admin grants to its users.

If this is other than QuickBooks, then you have a chance that you
might get the software to function for limited users by adjusting
permissions of filesystem and/or registry areas used by the program.

But why bother. If this is a new purchase, reject it and get a
software product that is certified for Windows, thus supporting
software vendors that are going the extra mile to show that they
are concerned with the well-being of their customers and their
customers' computing infrastructure.
