Subject: Impact of removing administrative rights in an 
enterprise running XP

Hello all,
I wonder if anyone on the list who might work for a good 
sized enterprise (10,000+ seats) has gone through the 
excercise of removing administrative rights from the user community?

Aside from the effort to inventory all applications and 
ensure that they work with restricted permissions, I forsee 
that such an effort would likely require changes to the 
entire support model.  Instead of relying on users to install 
their own software, it would need to be done for them.  New 
hardware would require intevention, etc.

If someone has completed this, was support a major new 
burden, or was it not as difficult as it might be?  If it 
was, how much of a burden was it (+ desktop support 
headcount? +helpdesk calls?)?
