[ActiveDir] When is a domain Admin not a domain Admin?

[Morley, Scott]

All,   For reasons too long and boring to mention, I have been asked about the following scenario:   Create a regular normal everyday user Give that user full control over all objects in the domain The user is NOT part of the Domain Admins group     Does the membership of the domain Admins group provide some additional rights/functionality to a user?  Or is full access to all objects equivalent to domain admin rights?         Scott Morley Active Directory Manager MSCE 2000, CCNA, CNE, CNI   "Human beings, who are almost unique in  having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
