Are you sure about that? Don't you have some kind of role-based access
control through Active Directory or something, where you can control things
more precisely? You just let everyone download anything and everything they
want in an organization that large? Seems like it would be an administrative
nightmare. I mean, it’s none of my beeswax. I've just never heard of such a
thing.
Anyway, you wouldn't have to give them admin rights just to let them install
programs. Go into Local Security Policy and set the option to prompt for
elevation on program installs to Disabled. (It's enabled by default).
Standard users can then install programs without elevation prompts or
administrative passwords.
You have to log into an administrative account first. Standard users can't
elevate to get there. Once you're in an admin account click Start, type sec
and click Local Security Policy.
