Hi Joe
While I agree with you, I think it's also important to mention that it's not
a security best practice to log in as a domain admin on a workstation. I'd
prefer to see people doing all user management from a domain controller than
using a domain admin account outside of a secure server room/datacentre.
Of course, the proper balance is to use the delegation of control wizard to
allow creation of regular accounts and/or using the runas feature to elevate
as required.
Regards
Oli
