Our security people used to be that way. Unix was the only way to do things and they wanted to redo AD so that it acted like Unix with MIT Kerberos. Spent a couple of months proving them wrong.

The new security people understand AD, have apps that use it for authentication from Unix and are willing to help us out so that it's always available. We help them put together the policies that affect Windows systems here so we can nudge things our way.

Why? Do they make you change how you want to do admin work. ;o)

LOL couldn't resist.

Not a big fan of "Security" people.  :)

When you have a CIO that likes to be in the Domain Admins group, you sometimes have to pick your battles.


Talk to your security people. When we first put up AD the computer security folks set a maximum limit to the number of people that could be

DAs. Maybe it could be a number that would keep the CIO out?

There is no debate on admins having multiple creds, one for admin work

and one for normal work. Just do it. :)


We took that one step farther.

- Regular user account for 'normal' work
- An admin account for server administration
- An da account for domain admin work

It's a bit of a pain to keep the password straight (for some) but accountability is there and one uses the account you need for the job.

It's been more of a pain taking local admin access away from people on their desktops.
        al

To put it nicely, if a company doesn't do this, they are just being silly[1].

I am trying to figure out if there is ever a valid reason I think that

an admin should have a single ID in a company. I can't come up with
one.

[1] Instead of silly think of mean words used to describe really silly

people.

One more thing to add to this from my experience.

I think we had situations arise where someone was trying to pragmatically modify or read attributes on accounts in the protected groups and was not able to due to their membership within a protected group. This of course started the hot debate on admins having
multiple
credentials, one for administrative duties, the other for
collaborative
and identity purposes.

I have a 2-part discussion of this behavior starting here: http://www.akomolafe.com/JustSaying/tabid/193/EntryID/19/Default.aspx

It's a bit headache-inducing, but at least you will get the benefit of

knowing that it is "by design"

We have some users that have mobile devices that connect to Exchange.

The 3rd party application uses a dedicated account to send mail from
the
devices.  This account needs to have "Send As..." permissions on each
of
the user accounts' security settings. We have set it in all users (about two dozen) but one user in particular has a problem. We set
the
permission and give it "Send As..." rights (just like all the others -

no different), but usually within an hour, the newly added permission
is
gone - not just the "Send As" setting, but the whole account name is gone from this user's security settings as if we never added it in the

first place.  We have five DC's and I have tried adding it from each
DC
with the same results. I am baffled by this. Does anyone have any suggestions?
