I'm configuring Visual Studio .Net for a large scale college classroom
deployment. The professor insists that students must be members of the
"admin" group. I think in some cases that may be true, but in general lower
level classes can get by using only "user" rights. I expect to have to make
exceptions for upper level courses.

I found a document from Microsoft University relations titled "Visual Studio
.NET User Groups Use, Permissions, Security"
http://www.msdnaa.net/solutions/dotnetdevvsgroups.pdf. Is anyone in this
group using this configuration?

I found another interesting document on development using Visual Studio .Net
on Terminal Server at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/academic/techdown/techprod/netframework/devsys/devsysw
s03/default.aspx.
Is anyone in this group using this configuration?

Can anyone comment on user rights and group memberships of students using
Visual Studio in a college classroom setting?

Is your department a MSDNAA member? If so, you can get excellent help for
your situation by asking in the MSDNAA newsgroups:

microsoft.private.msdnaa.dotnet
microsoft.private.msdnaa.general

If not, perhaps you should suggest a membership
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/academic/).
I'm sorry not to have the details for you, but you can set up students in
the developer users group and the debugger users group to give them access
to most VS.NET features without making them administrators.
