Hi guys.
I understand that in a domain network, one can easily have centralized control over all clients using the server(set group policies, prevent users from doing certain things....etc). But, if I'm in a workgroup network and I only want the users to work in their corresponding applications and not do any changes to the system or be able to modify settings......etc, What is the best way to do that?
Can user accounts in control panel fulfill this role perfectly? For example, I'll create a user account for each machine and there will be an admin account of course. The operator or the employee will access windows through the user account to do his work. The admin account will be used to do all setups and installs and its password will not be given to anybody except the real network administrator.
I don't want standard normal users to be able to use removable storage. And I also don't want them to install or uninstall programs or delete some certain files. These are the kind of things I don't want user to alter or mess with. So, can it be done this way?
The OS I will be using will be either windows 8 or 7. Also, does the windows edition matter here? Pro vs ultimate vs home premium..........etc?
Thanks.
