Here?s our situation, we have been told to roll out XP to the desktop some time in the very near future, this we can do today and have been ready for some time. The issue is the 200 odd legacy applications.
The only solution we came up with in this time frame is to make each user a local admin on their workstation. No one in the department wants to do this, but it?s been driven by upper management.
What are the risks we are opening ourselves up to?
What strategies can you advise to get around this and move forward?
Our aim was to modify each app (script its installation so we can push it) and the security compatibility template for a controlled release onto our Win 2000 domain.
Now we are thrown for a loop, how can we extract some good out of a bad situation?
