Then they will have an administration icon, which, when clicked, will
tell them nicely that this will allow them set up and administer basic
system functionality and that they need to provide the administrators
password to continue (like mcc & friends).
I guess, this is the time they will call the administrator or simply
ignore it. In short, I do not see it being more or less risky than
having an menu entry for mcc and other admin tools in the menus, as we
currently have.

PS And IMHO, if you put our hundreds of boxes, without ever having
logged in, something strange is going on. Logging in is part of the
testing/QA process before handing out the box resp. of the
underlying image you use for the boxes.
