In our case six would be plenty - with delegation I don't even see us needing even that many, but we do have some folks whose egos would have a hard time having that permission removed, never mind the fact I could probably remove 90% of them from the group and they'd never notice...

I usually go with a magic number of 6 as what I tell larger customers to keep it <=. Not sure what your org looks like though so kind of shooting in the dark.

General poll: How many Systems Engineers do you guys have and how many of them are domain administrators? If you don't want to divulge specifics then percentages would work. For us we're at about 13 DA's / 13 SE's, although I think we should be closer to say, 4/13. Comments?
