In fact, this of course also worked the other way around. Also, there
was a bug in MSIE ASN1 parsing once which could be exploited to write
random registry keys with the user's privileges. So what we did was
this: we had a link on our internal archive web server which read "Don't
click here". Now if some stupid NT admin surfed as a user with
Domain-Admin privileges and clicked on the link, the NT domain server
would believe to be a workstation on the next boot. This happened from
time to time and caused a lot of amusement along us UNIX admins.
