ZenWorks - Administrator on one machine

Hi

We have a department of about 250 workstations connecting to a Netware 4.11 based service. We are currently looking at zenworks to provide some workstation management capabilities. One thing we would like is for a user to be an administrator on their local machine (i.e. their office pc) but if they log in anywhere else they will be an ordinary user. Can this be done with ZenWorks and if so can someone give me an idea as to how??

Many Thanks

Alan.

Why not have 2 user accounts for the same person?
One called Zen and the other FBloggs.(Or whatever username system you use)

When logged in as Zen, you get assigned all the privlidges needed to administer the network or whatever, and when logged in as FBloggs you receive normal user restrictions.


This is a common method when using network logins. For example, I am the network administrator here, however, I don't log in at every workstation I visit as Admin - only when I need those rights that Admin gets.

In anycase, Zen does have a Restrict Login policy if you really want to go that way.

Hope this helps.

Owen
