FDCC requires that the typical user run as Normal User whenever possible; without this, a managed environment is practically impossible. For organizations that have given Local Administrator rights to their users all along, this is a serious change in policy, and one that often alarms Users, Developers, and even Administrators. This webcast provides information on how to propose and implement the switch to performing daily tasks logged in with User, not Administrator rights. It will cover what running as User means in Vista and XP, typical impacts, Necessary preparations and educational moves to make, Special cases for Developers, Power Users, and Administrators and Real world cases and examples of how they handled it.
