Also, A tight GPO will uninstall anything outside the scope of the companies policy. A good AD manager can easily stop this behavior by granting Power User rights to the local user for certain installs, and check it against the GPO at the next login for compliance.

That is why big business locks down laptops, PCs, PDAs, etc so users can't install software. If you are allowing illegal software on company property the BSA will prosecute the company. A typical case: http://www.linuxworld.com.au/index.php/id;2145891778;fp;32768;fpid;18231 82985 -- Regards, Steve
