[mhossain]

I think Microsoft should add a specific GPO setting to allow standard users
to install application, Especially for Enterprise Version.

RE: GPO Settings

Thanks Jesper,

Well, I didn't have the book yet. However, I was looking online materials
and couldn't find any information that helps me. By the way that includes
Microsoft websites.

RE: GPO Settings

There are lots of resources to do so. For example, here is how you can deploy
Office with GP:

Here is a more general article:

RE: GPO Settings

Hi Jesper,

Thanks for the links. However, those dosen't explain what I want. Well,I
think I havn't made myself clear. Let me explain --

I need to create a Group and give them permission to install Applications
any time then want. It will be something like the PowerUsers Group that was
available with XP. I was looking for a GPO settings which will allow me to
give that permission to those users.

Just to mentaion that, those user will not have anyother Admin Privilages
other than Installation.

Now, you may question why we need this, well we support a large number of
user who has access to multiple of desktops and laptops and a good part of
them are Managers and Academics. Sometimes, when they are out of our range
they need to install applications. Hope that expains.

TA

RE: GPO Settings

I probably did not make myself clear either.

You can't do what you want. To install applications you have to be an
administrator because installing applications is, no matter which way you
slice it, an act of modifying the operating system - an administrative act.
Thus, what you are asking for is, quite literally, to have your cake and eat
it too.

What you can do is publish applications to them using Group Policy. That
does not solve the distance problem though. That you have to figure out how
to solve with VPNs and the like. It would be nice to have a way to cache
installable applications on the client, but unfortunately, that does not
exist.
