Hello everyone,
I would like everyones opinion on a subject of extreme importance to me.
Right now my companies computers are setup so that all users are ONLY
members of the local users group to enforce security accross the network,
reduce support costs and is an overal good practice to follow. This is all
about to change for me. We are in the process of consolodating domain and
with this my IT managers want to add everyone to make them members of the
local administrators group!!! I strongly disagree with this and did not
make this recommendation. I am trying to prevent this from happening to my
network as I dont think this is in the best interest for the
network/company. Please give me your opinions on this and what your
companies do. Any links to articles with reasons why this is not a good
idea would be greatly appreciated and MVP/MSFT person's opinions would be
great!
