Re: How to prevent the installation of drivers for everyone, including admin

Hello scanlegentil,

You can't exclude an admin from anything, because she/he is an admin, an
admin, an admin...............

Normal user by default aren't able to install the most hardware. See the
following GPO, Windows Vista, Windows server 2008 or higher OS is needed:
Local Computer Policy | Computer Configuration | Administrative Templates
| System | Device Installation "Allow non-administrators to install drivers
for these device setup classes"

For driver signing options:
Computer Configuration | Windows Settings | Security Settings | Local Policies
| Security Options "Devices: Unsigned driver installation behavior" also
an option for printer drivers "Devices: Prevent user from installing printer
drivers"

Best regards
