If the domain becomes unavailable (admin because sometimes we need to futz with
NIC properties) or we need to disjoin from the domain for whatever reason we
need a local admin account. We have enough servers that it happens on occasion.
We also have credential caching turned off on our servers.

I agree. The typical PDF file I generate from the Word copy of my book is
