Which vendor?

(please don't tell me a crappy accounting app?)

And there's typically ways around this to hack up the registry. We have to say no to these vendors especially with Vista's UAC right around the corner.

I’m definitely not wanting to do this – but a vendor was saying to do it to allow one of their services to run as Local System and be able to interact with another machine.

I am very skeptical, and not allowing it.

Thanks,

James

Ultimately, anyone with physical access to the remote PC will have Admin

rights over the PC in which you add the account to the admins group for.


Directly, anyone who can run anything as localsystem or networkservice will

have those rights.

What is the net effect of placing a remote computer account

(\\domain\computer_name) in the Local Administrators group?



Thanks,
