    Creating an exception for writing C: Drive


    Hello,
    I work in an Windows 7 enterprise environment. We recently pushed forward the initiative to take away local admin rights on all company work-stations.
    There are a few employee's that need the ability to "write to the C: drive" with certain programs and this is taken away when we remove local admin rights.

    All our work-stations are tied to our domain. What are the possible workarounds to allow users to write to the C: drive? Should we create a group policy in AD DS or do we do it on a per user basis and create a permission with the local machine? Please reply with your thoughts! I posted this in Security because it had to do with taking local admin rights away.

    Thank you to everyone who helps.

    You could create a new security group in AD and only give the users who need the access, access.

    You could also create a logon script so when the user logs on they are give the permissions.

    A few things:

    -is uac enabled? What setting?
    -What kind of user group are they apart of? Standard user/limited user?
    -What programs are they trying to open that require admin rights?
    -What file directories do the programs need access to, where do employees need to save to?

    More info is needed here please.
