Hi there,
I manage around 10 laptops assigned to employees in the company. On all the PCs, Windows 11 is installed, and there are two accounts (1) an admin account, and (2) a standard account for the employee.
For the employee to install a program, he/she needs to let me know, then I remote access that machine, enter the admin password, and the program is installed.
I want to streamline the operation, and I came across Admin By Request. I installed it on a standard account on the test machine, and now I can approve requests for installations. When I went back to the admin account, I found that I need to request approval to install programs!
- Can I enable ABR for standard accounts only?
- Is ABR trying to remove local admin rights for the admin account as well, even if it is installed in the standard account?
- Any recommendations on a better work flow? This one is archiac.
- I want a program to remotely install programs and update them using CLI. Example, I want to install Control-D on the laptops without asking each user to give me some time.
Thx!
