Disable Manual Installation

Spammeh · 22 Aug 2006 at 11:28

I'm currently at work, and we need a way of preventing users who have administrator rights to manual install IE7 from external media.

I know this is a far out question, but is there anyway we can prevent this using anything quite frankly. every computer is connected to our network and IE7 will stop quite a few of our applications from running. We're still Active Directory Roll-out so I have a feeling it more minalmising the risk as opposed to completely erradicating it. But if you guys have any ideas I will be v. happy

HELP!

Thx

I'd set up a group policy to prevent users running any .exe or .bat files except the ones in a specific list.

I did this at home many moons ago, stopped my brother lagging my games with limewire between 5pm and 10pm

Is it imperative that they have admin priviledges?
