So I'm the poor schmuck that gives a crap about backups. I have scripts that are supposed to run every night, but due to IT corporate domain nonsense they make me change my password. The scripts are run from a local admin account (non-domain) but every time I change my network password, all...

Hi, Wonder if this is possible. Currently GPO is used to push out policy to allow an AD group local admin rights on PC's. The requirement is to further restrict access by using GPO (and possibly restricted groups) so that only the owner of the laptop has local admins to their PC. This needs to...

Backstory: I have been using Win7 since 7000 beta and played with it and love it (I'd consider myself pretty PC-saavy). But I'm having a problem with homegroup sharing on two computers. I have a desktop running much like a server: having utorrent download (free and legal) torrents and...

A little background and info: I support a number of people who for one reason or another need to be able to do things a local admin can do like install programs and start services (or more accurately allow a program they're running to start a service). All users are in the local administrators...
