David Brown posted a workaround for the problem in these apps when you first raised the issue: DB> I have to disagree with this, simply because several users in our office DB> would do more damage than good as domain admins because of poor computing DB> habits.

Until you can convince me otherwise, I consider these apps to be flawed, and for it to be an unacceptable security risk to have all users be members of the domain admin group. It is an issue, and is one which we will need to deal with, through documentation, or through software change if necessary. And until then, it's easy for you to use a custom template to solve the problem in the way which you see fit. -- Charlie Brady [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lead Product Developer Network Server Solutions Group http://www.e-smith.com/ Mitel Networks Corporation http://www.mitel.com/ Phone: +1 (613) 368 4376 or 564 8000 Fax: +1 (613) 564 7739 -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives by mail and http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org
