Hi,

What OS do you use? Windows NT Workstation, XP Pro or Windows 2000 Pro?

Anyway, any of these OSes will require admin rights to your local PC for you to install any application. If you can logon locally to your PC and if you are the admin of that PC, not the network, then there should be no problem. In case you are not the administrator or a user with admin rights for that PC, you really need to get the login name and password used in the installation of the OS.

If you use Windows 9x to logon to network and you can't install an application, the possibility is that your computer is restricted by your administrator using System Policy Editor or other third party apps.

Basically, company restrictions are initiated when you logon to your network.

I hope this helps.

Most likely your company uses an NT based system like NT 4, 2000 Pro or XP Pro. You can ask your IT dept. to give you membership on at least the "Power Users" local group so you can install your activesync without full admin rights. This is a very good compromise for ordinary users who need more than the usual apps that need those kinds of rights.

makes sense.but what is the best reason that can be given to be approved of such privilege?

That you need activesync to install to your device of course! The power users group wont mess up the system. If your admin is too paranoid about it, he may do it the hard way: make a specific group policy that only allows you to use activesync. A windows server 2003 AD can be fine tuned for that.
