Re: Local Administrators

We have similar issue. We only allow admin access to the required
directories of the problem software. We used to use Centurion Guard as
well but it was very hard to deploy new lab software while using it.

Currently we allow our students to be local administrators on lab
computers.  The reason is that some software needs admin-level access to
run.  How do you all handle software like that.  I would like to get our
students to the power-user level.

 

Thanks,
