| Guest | Does "Standard User" account allow for software updates? Hello. I am buying laptops for 10 remote users. The laptops will be used only in a stand-alone environment, so no domain logins or group policies would be coming from a central server. I'd like to install all of our business related software as administrator and then prohibit the standard user account from being able to install any other software. I believe I can do this...but was wondering what happens when software updates / patches for various products become available - vista, office, acrobat, etc.??? Will the "standard user" be able to install these updates / patches without needing the Administrator password? Any other suggestions for locking down these laptops given our environment? Thanks. |
