Hi all,

WE have found that that when using IIS the user needs local admin rights to
the machine, is there a way around this?

Thanks

Hi,

I presume you are using basic authentication?
See another thread: "Setting up IIS 5 basic authentication properly"

I think he's referring to the MMC, not just web browsing. And no, to
use the MMC requires local admin rights. Scripts or control panels
may allow the access you need without local admin permissions.
