"what is stopping some server admins to put in some logon scripts that adds a 
certain account as enterprise admin (boobietrap)."
 
The same thing that prevents them from installing a keylogger or modifying any 
code on the system to do their nefarious deeds when a high level account runs 
them - absolutely nothing.  Login scripts are just one of many possible attack 
vectors.

The point is, if you don't trust the code on a box or the admins that can put 
code on a box, then you should NEVER use your high-level accounts for accessing 
that box.

Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: Overriding local computer logon scripts - anyway to do 
it?



Hi all, 

I had just logged in one of a printserver in my remote site, out of my usual 
scope - but the point is that the server has some logon scripts (local) 
associated with it.


Just concerned about the security aspect of it - what is stopping some server 
admins to put in some logon scripts that adds a certain account as enterprise 
admin (boobietrap).

I know the usual rule was to not login to untrusted boxes... but is there a way 
to overcome such? 


Thank you and have a splendid day! 
  
Kind Regards,
