I just upgraded from a Win 2000 server to 2003 standard server. When checking
the Administrator Group properties to view the members, there are many
members in there that I don't think should be. Can anyone tell me why I need
the following members in the Administrator Group, if not I am going to remove
them:

Domain Users
Sql Adm
Exchange Admin

Plus, I have several other "groups" that I setup . Why do they need to be in
the Administrator Group??
