Hi,

We are running Windows XP Pro and 2000 Pro on our computers. I'm in the
process of learning Group Policies and how to create, manage, deploy and
troubleshoot them (AD is still on 2000 Server based)

My 2x questions are:

How come when I remove the local Administrator rights to a user and leave
him on a basic user level access we run into all kinds of software issues
that we do not have if the user is part of the admin group. Such as
Outlook
printing issues that can't create documents in Temp folders and so many
other
sotwares having all kind of hickup behaviors?

Why do you want to interfere in the productivity of others.

My second question is it possible to leave my users in the local admin
groups but with group policy deny them the rights to install or remove any
applications? If so how?

Why do you want to limit what a person can or cannot do.

Any help will be greatly appreciated since I'm kind of in a nightmare in
troubleshooting and administering all of what goes on the users computers

Thank you
Gabriel
