General method for configuring the user account on staff workstations in a domain ?
Posted by Stuart Mackie [MCP, MSP] on December 24th, 2003


Hi. I'm sure this is a very basic question but I just want to check what
the general view is on configuring user accounts on user workstations in a
domain. For example if a user bob has a workstation on the local network
which is a domain called 'company.local'. Bob should have user rights for
the domain with Local Admin rights to his workstation, as well as the domain
Group 'Technical Support' having Admin rights to the workstation.

The two/three questions I have are:

- What do most admins do with the local Administrator account on the
workstation ? is one password used for all workstations in the domain set
by the support department during install or .... ?
- How do most go about adding Bob's user account to the local workstation ?
(ie. command line or GUI).
- Is it necessary to add the 'Technical Support' group to Local Admins on
the workstation, or is the local Administrator account enough ?

Thanks for any help
Stuart Mackie.
