And Joe - just because I'm curious (this so often happens between us...) how are you managing a multi-domain environment with no Global or Universals (I can understand not using the Unis)? How are users from other domains getting access to resources? I maybe assume too much, but all environments that I've seen, users are accessing resources in other domains. And, please - don't tell me that you're explicitly adding users from DomainA to DLGs or resources in DomainB. I've got that problem I'm dealing with as a legacy, and UPN resolution is painful.

DC's have the local groups, especially administrators. If you didn't block you would get the specialgroup in your Domain Controllers administrators group. I have tens of thousands of local groups on my domains. We don't use Global/Universal except builting, everything else is DLG. joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Kingslan Sent: Saturday, August 16, 2003 10:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Add junior admin to Local workstations admin group Deji, Good example - I like it, but I'm curious on one thing. You state that you block it at Domain Controllers. I'm not sure why, as DCs have no local groups. If you're just being specifically cautious, great. Me, I don't see the need to block it at the DC OU as it won't affect anything.

I've looked at restricted groups GPO but, this doesn't really seem to do what I want. I don't need to restrict just add. I am also looking at writing a script to run at boot ,but again not sure there isn't an easier way. Any Ideas?
