I am trying to lock down the user desktop from installing software.
All of the users are part of the restricted users and I am OK with
that. The problem I am running into is the user can not add a local
printer or change the time zone. Some of our sale people need to do
that since they are always on the road. I check the local security
policy but did not see an option. I thought giving the permission to
change the system time would allow them to change the time zone but
didnt. Any help would be appreciative.
Are you using AD?
I believe you can use group policy to allow users to install printers - if
you're using AD you should apply this from your server, but even if you
aren't, you can do it on the local computer policy.
Computer configuration\Windows settings\Security settings\Local
Policies\Security options....
Find "Devices: Prevent users from installing printer drivers"
Tick "Define this policy setting"
and then choose Disabled.
Re the time zone change - I probably wouldn't want to do this myself. What's
the real point? If you use AD and they change the actual system time, things
will get botched when they come back to the office network. They may not
need to actually do this anyway; if you use Outlook they can change the time
zone in there (add additional time zones to the calendar), for example. That
said, you can go to
Computer configuration\Windows settings\Security settings\Local
Policies\User rights assignment....
Find "Change the system time"
Tick the box to define it, and then add the users/groups you wish.
