Hello, why don't you use GPO with computer or user configuration to install the software, that way no user requires admin permissions?

Thursday, March 14, AM. Don't do it. Have software install requests vetted by company approved. Deploy specific, approved software on an as needed basis to those specific users who request it. Though not recommended, if the user wants to install software and should not get any additional access to the domain, why dont you just add the user to local administrators group on the PC. Thanks for the response guys, That is an hourly client who doesn't really know anything about security.

I explained to him why we shouldn't do this but he wanted me to do it anyway so I did it. He wanted a user to have admin rights to install software on every computer on the network, that is done, I ended up using a GPO that was already created by the previous IT company I believe.

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to respond I really appreciate it. I cant add the user to the local administrator group because one user needs to be able to do this on every computer, not in just one.
