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. http://www.winternals.com/Products/ProtectionManager/Default.aspx
Protection Manager or something similar is a MUST if you don't want the computer usage to be adversely affected.
