Comment No local admin by default... (Score 1) 605

We all had local admin rights until about a year ago. Under the new policy, standard user logins do not have local admin rights. If you need to install software, you need to login as a separate poweruser, which in turn disables access to all network resources (drives, printers, etc).

It was a big pain, and people did a lot of bitching and moaning, but slowly we're getting used to it.

There are several options:
1.) logout/login as poweruser
2.) Right-click, do 'Run As'
3.) While running as local user, open a CMD window that's running as poweruser.
