local admin rights
Experts,
I am compiling a checklist that we want our domain/network admins to consider before authorising any requests from users as to whether they should or should not be allowed local admin rights on their PC. Have any of you done a similar exercise in your organisation and what are key issues you consider that give the end user a yes or no as to whether their request is appropriate (to ensure we havent overlooked anything).
Cheers,

Hi bluntTony:
The main reasons we are getting range from certain apps not working properly unless they have local admin rights, certain functionality within software and apps not working without local admin rights, and some bizarre ones that dont seem to be justified which have been point blank rejected.
Out of interest then, I'd be interested to know which scenarios / reasons you agree with the user and grant a user local admin, and which scenarios / reasons you dont.
Regards

Like the link sliknygn.
I noticed Quickbooks was on the 'hall of shame' list. This app I had to work around by applying compatws.inf.
