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

Er, that's the whole point behind a domain admin account. They have root. Anything you do to restrict them, they can undo.


This was discussed recently here: http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/105/397137

The gist is "Prevent the use of domain admin accounts where such a level of access is unnecessary. When domain admin access is necessary, choose trustworthy domain admins and log and audit their activities".
