One of the major push back argument that you will get is the inability
to install new applications/software by desktop users.

I tried to do something similar for very very large US university. But
the project failed simply because the faculty/staff members wanted the
ability to install new applications without calling the desktop
support.

However if you MUST remove the administrative privelges, take a look
at the Protection Manager by Winternals.

Protection Manager or something similar is a MUST if you don't want
the computer usage to be adversely affected.
