Re: Local Admin Access

LAPS is a good idea for Windows desktops/servers and the IT support staff.
For other users, I would ask why they need local admin privileges. What are
they trying to do? Then I would find a way to do whatever it is they are
wanting to do remotely, through a management tool, such as KACE, assuming
what they are wanting to do is approved by the CISO/Director.

faculty/staff?
