Tools: Use ImgBurn without administrator permissions
Recently, ImgBurn was scripted for an enterprise deployment. None of the end users are local administrators. With Nero, you could install NeroRights to provide the necessary privileges, but ImgBurn has no equivalent included. This required a small Group Policy change, which can be made in a local, site, domain or OU-level GPO.
CreateFile Failed! - Device \\.\CdRom0 (D:\) Reason: Access is denied. Errors were encountered when trying to access a drive This drive will not be visable in the program You need Administrative privileges to use SPTI
Start gpedit.msc as an administrator, go to Local Policies, Security Options, and set "Devices:Restrict CD-ROM access to locally logged on user only" to Enabled. Then log in as a user.
ImgBurn now found one drive, without local administrator permissions on Windows XP SP3.

Great! Thank you for this blog :-)
This was excellent! Now I just have to find out why Server 2008 cannot recognize my blank DVD even though Imgburn and Windows 7 can....
