I’d be annoyed too (I often work on Windows and services); fortunately it is possible to grant people local admin access scope to their own machines and treat their OS install as fungible cattle (e.g. Boot-from-VHD derived from a common image with preinstalled software, so if anything goes wrong they can be back-to-normal in under 60 seconds; and give people (non-admin) access to VDI for reliable access to Office/Email/SharePoint, especially if devs use Linux as a daily-driver but the rest of your org runs Windows).
At the very least, people can just install a VM with admin rights in there - and what’s the difference between that and a physical machine?
- sccxy 2y agoActually there is special admin account, but you have to enter credentials manually after you click "use admin access" or whatever it is called in windows. He wanted 100% admin account all the time. If you complain 100 ppl meeting that it is annoying to install Spotify and you fail most obvious phishing test then I would not give him that local admin access.
