    Hi,
    As you know, books recommend to admins to remove login for
    computer\administrators to prevent all administrators from accessing the sql
    server, unless we create a login for particular one.
    But all administrators are able to stop sql server service and copy
    mdf,ldf,ndf files to other computer that has sql server and attach our db to
    that. How can sql server prevent it?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Amin
