Re: Secure Domain Contollers at Branch Offices



it is either very difficult or impossible. AND it is for sure not a best practice! W2K8 RODCs should help you with this, but as you said not an option

We need to reduce the number of users in the Domain Admins group. We are
running Windows 2003 and are not looking to move to the next release for a
while. We have multi-function domain controllers at a number of branch
offices. Administrators have been placed in the Domain Admins group to
administer these servers.

How can we remove admins from the Domain Admins group but still allow them
to perform daily operations tasks on these servers (restart services, setup
printers, logon locally, manage file security... etc). Has anyone come up
with a good security model for this without compromising security too much.

Thanks
