RE: Restricting users fron installing

You're first step is to remove users from having any sort of admin rights on the local computer unless absolutely 
necessary.  You can then lock down the users and desktops using Group Policy Objects.

Hi'

In my company we have w2k domain. the pc's are all xp
pro. I want to prevent users from installing or
uninstalling any software or playing around with
norton anti virus paramenters ( espcially to remove
the auto protect option). Today the users are local
admins on there pc's. what is the better way to do
that maybe throw GPO ?

please help.
