Techs have rights and permissions, too!

by clemclemmons . Updated 23 years, 2 months ago

I work for a very huge company in a small department that in whole creates and supports it’s own software, and website for our field sales force of 60,000 subscribers. Subscriptions are billed at an average of $50.00 per month. With this they expectcomputer support that ranges from basic hardware installation to personal database management and everything in between. Our support group is 15 people strong, and until soon, have been running Windows 2000 with local admin rights. This allows us touninstall and reinstall: print drivers, random utils, our own software, enter the regestry, ect. Well the corporate policy is bearing down on us, and very soon we will be changed to “users”, just like everyone else in the domain. My question is based in the overall advantages to this change. I will be trying to ‘sell’ the idea to the soon to be users, that it will be good for us, and not to fight it. any insight would be appreciated.
