Vista UAC

[KA Kueh]

Dear all,

I am coming to terms with UAC and it does offer some security benefits but I
have an issue with it. I need to delegate support users "admin privileges".
Since all machine XP Pro and Vista Business are joined to a Windos 2003
domain, I just cannot assign these support personnel as members of
"Administrators". How can I allow support personnel enough admin privilege
but not too much in the domain? Thanks.

Regards,
Kueh.

Right off the bat, one answer that comes to me is to create an Active
Directory group for your field support folks and grant that group Local
Admin rights on every box in your network. But that would be an Active
Directory answer, not a Vista answer.

Exactly the same way you did with XP.
