I've been approached recently to put one of my admins into the Enterprise 
Admins group, because he used to have it, and thought he needed it for a 
specific task.  We recently cleaned up this group, and I'm hesitant to re-add 
another admin, especially on the basis of "I used to have it".  We currently 
are down to 3 users in the group, myself and two others.  The accounts used are 
our admin accounts, which are Domain Admins in addition to Enterprise Admins.  
What I was wondering is this:

Should we actually be using unique accounts just for the Enterprise Admin role, 
or is the way we have it ok?  Should we instead have a service account 
placeholder in the Enterprise Admin group, and use that to either do whatever 
work needs done, or to add ourselves as needed?  I'd love to hear what everyone 
out there is doing.

Thanks,
