Hi List,
Is there a way to restrict access of a Domain Admin?

Example, can we allow a Dommain admin to do everything EXCEPT user management (e.g. password reset)?

We want to secure our environment, and do not want to have "ALL-POWERFULL" 
domain admins around

Thanks for your suggestions

P.S. Environment: Windows (2000 & 2003) - Active Directory


Your best bet would be to do what we did in our environment. We gave rights as needed. We only have 4 Domain Level Admin accounts and those are only to be used when absolutely needed. Everyone uses an account that only has as much privileges as their job requires.

By doing this you can give them any rights that they might need.

Remember you WILL come across a situation where you want an "ALL-POWERFULL" domain admin account.
