Re: Account Operators users changing others Account Operators user

I know that Domain Controller are resetting security setting of members of
those builtin groups, but does they are doing the same thing to OU's security?

I'm asking that, since I'm having trouble keeping Account Operators group
rights on somes OU's in a problematic Active Directory. Each time I'm
resetting Acount Operators group rights (add/delete/modify all objects &
child objects) at the top level OU's structure, we have to drill down the
structure to make sure every OU is inheriting from parent. After doing that,
few hours later, we have to re-do the same thing again, since inheritance and
propagation of rights have been removed!!!

They are there because they are legacy hold-over from NT4 where there
was no such thing as delegation.

Don't figure out what Acc Ops has and duplicate it, figure out what
people need and grant that instead.

This kind of behavior explain for what a lot of companies are giving full
rights to everybody (account operators are Domain Admins!), since after using
these builtin groups first, they are having troubles resetting passwords on
somes accounts...

So we have now to determine exactly what security the Account Operators
groups give, and create another similar group to delegate similar security,
but over all required objects.

Thanks.

Hi!

Does it exist a way for an account operators member to change/reset
password
of others account operators member?

Or the only way, is to not uses this group and delegate required rights?

Thanks.
