Slightly OT, I have XP SP2 machines when I try to open Computer Management, Services, etc using Run As, it will thow an invalid directory error (like when you try to use Run As on an exe that is on a mapped drive). This only happens when the system is connected to the LAN. If it is not plugged in, the Run As works normally. I have to go into the Windows\system32 directory and use Run As there for it to work.

Since RunAs was introduced in Windows 2000 this became a hell of a lot easier :-). Also our server support guys generally have Power User access for logging on to servers for everyday tasks, and are temporarily elevated by a backbone security team when they need local admin or higher. This may be overkill for a lot of enterprises though. 2008/5/29 Matthew Carpenter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Just curious what your best practices are in the rights you give your system administrators and other IT staff. Do they have domain admin rights on their daily user accounts? Do you use separate accounts with higher rights for auditing?
