Hi, (sorry for my poor english ;p)

the big company where I am actually has something like 600 users that
are member of the "builtin\Administrators".

We have a project to remove thoses users from this group.

1. I would like to know if some of you have already done such project
and if so, please could you tell me if you have some advices !

2. My second question is do you know, by experience, in which situation
users need admin rights on their workstation ?
I have isolated this situations :
- Install a local printer (I dont find any way to not given them the
admin rights).
- change IP address (on Win2k but they will be upgraded to XP and
added to Network Operators group)
- Some particular applications (and I change some security settings in
registry/file to let them access the application with their account
- Access to particular USB key (I dont find any way to not given them
the admin rights).
Do you see other potential problem ?

Thank you for your advices

Eric
