I know the risks. Sometimes, bad things happen. They're not the end of the world. The stuff that needs to be protected is protected. That's why I need to give users *local* admin rights. The easy way would have been to make them all administrators, but I need them to *not* have domain admin rights for the very reasons you mention. If a particular machine gets toasted, it gets wiped and reinstalled. Takes a couple of hours, nothing that matters is lost, and everything is fine. Been there many times.
And we *can't* run our business without using certain software and web sites that were made by people who, let's be polite, made some design choices I wouldn't have made, that necessitate this. Not everybody has the luxury of using purely technical criteria to decide what the "right" way to do things is. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
