Does a person need to be part of the Local Admin Group in
order to -

- Install device drivers
- Create Wireless Profile

or is there another group that this can be done with? I
have a lot of traveling users that periodically need to
do this but I really do not want to give them local admin
rights.

Thanks

Yep, generally. You could try Power Users to see whether it works for them,
tho.

I hate giving laptop users local admin rights, but I've usually just ended
up doing so because it's easier than messing around with the individual
things they might need on the road and getting 3AM phone calls -

I hold a big baseball bat over their heads and tell them that if I find crap
on their computers that doesn't belong there, or if they remove their
computers from the domain, I'll make examples of 'em in front of the whole
company. Seems to work with my clients....but then, it's a pretty
mean-looking bat.
