Re: Local Administrators

It depends on the applications that are running on those computers. The
bottom line is, if they don't need to be in the local admin group, don't put
them there.

Hello:

Some months ago I inquired need to make sbs 2003 users administrators of
local machine. One very helpful reply pasted below. But I not like make
all users admins, even local. Is this best way? Is not possible make sbs
2003 work best without all users in local admin?

Hi Sorry for the late reply, making the new User local admin is important
otherwise it may not allow a lot of applications to install properly on
that
machine or may not allow to install at all. If installed for the
administrator it still may not give access to that user account. Depends
on
diffrent applications.

If the new user is going to use the machine its a good idea to make that
user the admin anyway.
