I'm currently looking for a way to autorize my non administrators users to perform an installation of drivers.

Here is the speech:

All my users are standard users, they got a VirtualBox Hypervisor if they need the administrator rights.

But if they put an USB device on the local machine and try to redirect the device to the Virtual Machine, Windows ask for some Administrator rights.

I've try to set up those GPO:

  • Allow standard users to install drivers.
  • Install WHQL Drivers: Allow Silently.

I don't know how to do this.
