I wanted to find out how you all feel about letting your users have local admin rights on the notebooks. Is it advisable? Security concerns? When they are at a client and need to change network settings ?

THanks
 
I normally do it. If they want to load anything locally or need to make changes to various things it won't allow you to unless you have the administrative right. Even as a power user with software installation rights I ran into issues unless the users had local administrative rights. I generally don't have security issues or concerns with my clients.
