Taking away admin rights

Asked by kucelkj in Active Directory

Tags: admin rights AD active directory power user installing

Hello,
We are having increasingly more issues on our network with users getting spyware, viruses and the such. I think some of this may be a result of all of our users having admin rights. They have had admin rights long before I started working here, so it was not my decision.

It's been thrown around that it would be wise to take those rights away and make everyone power users. Has anyone had any experience with making this switch and what are some of the pros and cons of doing so?

Thanks in advance,
Dane
