Russ Cooper wrote an article over at http://mcpmag.com/columns/article.asp?editorialsid=1382 that got me thinking about an application in my world here.
In addition to the company computers, I support about 50 independent brokers who purchase their own hardware/software. I join their machines to AD and control them with group Policies, but quite often they insist on having administrator rights on their machine. (Certainly understandable for a laptop that they own, when they can’t even hook it up to a home printer or plug in their USB drive without calling me.)
(I know – it would be better to provide them with company-owned hardware and never grant admin rights, but I must play the hand I’ve been dealt rather than wish for different cards.)
I would like to create an Exception Document that they (and the Operations Director) would be required to sign before I grant admin rights.
Have you seen anything like what I’m looking for? I don?t speak legalese, so I was hoping to find a template that I could start with and customize.
