limit local admins
Hi,

i am working network person, software engineers and QA engineers are developing and testing softwares. every user have administrative rights on thier systems.

i want to prevent data theaft and limit them to install "Micro-SD", "USB FLASH" and other devices. and want to disable softwares.

Even though i have disabled USB but some users remove usb device from "device manager" and reinstalls that device and continue to using these devices, and same for softwares disabled by Group policy.

I want to limit these users rights.

Is there any way to do this.

thanks

Not if they're local admins. They have total control of the machine.
