Re: Question about security group

Hi
To install software they need to bee at least local admins.
To add them automatically to local admins groups you can use restricted
groups policy.
I don't recommend this because sounds like you want to allow all users to
install software and this can cause you more problems than resolving them,
remmember if you allow software installation to all users this also means
that they are able to install and run virus, etc... So you should consider
this once again.

We have the need to add users to a restricted AD group for allowing them
to install software on their machines but not to have any admin rights on
the domain. Without having to grant local admin access for each user on
their PC, is there a group that can do this that we can add users to?

TIA!
