Rewind about a year and a half ago, when Windows 2000 was still in the final Beta/RC phases. I’m sitting at a MS TechNet meeting and there are so MS representatives on the stage talking about some integrated SMS features build into Windows 2000 server. The reps go on and on about how you can set things up so that a particular user or a particular users group can be allowed to install certain products without admin rights, for example Adobe Acrobat Reader. This feature entices me, I thought, “Sweet, now I may not need SMS for this particular piece”. (yes, I know that SMS does a heck of a lot more then that, note the particular piece comment”.
Fast forward to today, my entire environment is Windows 2000, all laptops, all desktops, all servers as of June 2000. Were now, I ask you is this feature? Does it only apply to a Network Windows 2000 Pro install? If so I am not doing those, or did I miss something elsewhere? They said that it was in here, where is it? Do you know? Are you usingit?
