---> I was wondering, if there is an alternative to restrict HelpDesk from
knowing local Admin username and password and still do not effect their
ability to troubleshoot a problem in case they need to have escalated
rights on someone's PC? <---
One that I am aware of is MakeMeAdmin. It is used to perform actions on a
workstation that requires escalated privileges. However, you would still
require a admin credential to use it. So create a customize PowerUser or
admin user to best suit your need.

Besides this if you are also looking for a LUA (Least-Privileged User
Account) approach then it worth looking at this -

hope it help.

Subject: How to find the users with local admin rights?
Hi, on the same lines as an earlier posted who sought to find Blank
passwords, I was wondering if there is a way to find out, as to who all
have Local Administration Rights in my domain?
I mean, I want to Audit is if our Helpdesk personnel has scrupulously given
Local Admin rights on workstations, or created user accounts with Local
Admin rights for their friends/acquaintances etc.
I was wondering, if there is an alternative to restrict HelpDesk from
knowing local Admin username and password and still do not effect their
ability to troubleshoot a problem in case they need to have escalated
rights on someone's PC?
I know, it's a bit unrelated to this topic but just brought to fore a
question I sought some clues on since long.
