With all due respect, my client company WANTS users to have local admin
rights, BUT wants to stop them from changing the ncomputer name. ..SO....is
there any way to do so? Or must my client remove the users from the local
admin, and then piece-meal back their local rights, like adding printers,
drivers, etc....?????
Surely in GPO Settings there is some way to control this.....And , no,
taking away the entire Control Panel is not a good suggestion.
