Subject: Re: need help in managing administrators

Forgot to address one part of the question in my response:
Q: new software to users' computers but without having access to other
parts of the users machines, is this possible ?

A: Yes, this is easy, use EFS & set security perms so that the
installer can't access the files. Remember to generate backups of the
keys AND OR assign a backup agent (All in the microsoft KB).
