Software Restriction GPO on Windows 2003

Hi

I am running in a Win2k3 domain environment.  I have Windows 7 and Windows XP clients.  Most users are assigned to the local PC group USERS.  However one application which the environment uses requires some users to be Administrators to the local machine.  How can I restrict all users from installing any software onto their PC and still allow the domain administrator to facilitate the required installs in the environment.

Can anyone provide guidance or a step by step guide on how this can be achieved.

Thanks

If we don't give users admin privileges, they won't have the right to install software. However, if we add users to local admin group, then we can't restrict these users. Besides, domain admins have the right to install software by default.
