Thanks for the replies.

A domain is set up but users can install software, I think they have admin rights. How do I remove Admin rights from them ?

Secondly please could you guide me to set up the group policies as im new to this. Thanks

In the 'Computers and Users' adminitration each user has a 'Membership' tab. From this you will see all the group the user is a member of. You can delete the Administrators group from here. Alternately, go to the administrators group, and the members tab to delete multiple users quickly.

I don't have group policy to hand to guide you through a step by step, but there is a lot of information available on Google.
