Microsoft has released ActiveSync 4.5. This software is installed on Windows PC to enable PDA’s to synchonrise with desktop and domain resources (via the PC).
I’ve not had a PDA in years but when I last had one, the installation of this software required the user of the device to have admin rights. I hated that. Luckilly, the Active Directory that I designed managed local admins via restricted groups in Group Policy. We could add the user into the local administrators group by hand (as before), log them in, install the software and GPO would eventually refresh and remove the user from the administrators group.
