The PowerUsers group is worthless. It’s only a carryover on Vista+/Server2008+ for backwards compatibility.

We are trying to meet PCI requirements and someone in my group had the idea to enable the Power Users group as a solution for this (brings back bad memories of NT 4). If we could do that and remain PCI compliant I would do it, since we’re used to giving the app owners Administrator rights on their particular servers anyway, but I’m skeptical that we would be compliant.
