I'm trying to find a whitepaper or some info from
Microsoft on Best Practices or Standard Business Practice
regarding security permissions. What I'm looking for is
some standard business guidelines for security in general
and specifically permissions. What permissions should a
user have on the domain? Of course, the easy answer is
that it depends on their duties. What permissions should a
user have on "their" workstation/portable system? I'm
looking for some guidance on how to answer some of these
questions.

TIA,

Ronald Nissley
 
Ronald,

Here is a link to the Authoritative Security Guidance for the Enterprise
from MS:

bestprac/default.asp

Unfortunately there is not gonig to be a simple answer to your question.
It will be a combination of your current environment, your risk assesments,
security guidlines that are currently set in place and numerous other
factors. Hopefully the guide will give you a good place to start.
