Re: How to restore Active Directory users

Gerald,

Even a poorly-written application does not require **domain** administrator
rights. At most, they would require **local** administrator rights, but you
should be able to get around that with regmon and filemon to see what needs
to be modified. Leave them with user privileges, fix file and registry
permissions, and run securely.

Don't blame Windows Server 2003 or SBS 2003 for the problem. They are secure
and should remain that way. The problem is with programmers who cannot seem
to write code that does not require admin privileges.
