Windows Forum / Virtual PC / June 2007Running a local admin user
I need to download and trial software but the corporate computer I use doesn't allow me to do this because of the corporate domain and the corporate information on the file system. Would it be possible to run a VPC on the corporate machine (they would install and setup the VPC software) with a local machine domain and a local filesystem with admin priviledges in the local machine domain but not in the corporate domain? So that I would basically have a VPC sandbox on the corporate computer. Sure, that would work.

Very loosely, and very openly, I say: If your IS people don't know how to do it, they should be fired and a new group hired. Users should not know more than the IT/IS people. This is not an insult to the Users, nor to the IT/IS group -- but it doesn't make sense for an IT/IS department to rely on the people they support for information on how to do their own job. > Thanks. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >>> local machine domain but not in the corporate domain?
