Aaaagh! Are you using Domain Administrators to do computer administration?

I know I am terrible. My excuse is I tend to use an account with full privileges as my time at each client is limited and I have learnt the hard way that running as a non admin and elevating admin privileges does not always work. I remember spending over an hour trying to get something to work and finding out that the reason it did not work was because I needed to logon as administrator as elevation of privileges did not work!
But I will be reviewing the use of domain accounts as I don't think that the accounts needs to be a domain admin as you rightly pointed out. Not good practice admittedly, but sometimes I just don't have enough time to get all the work done, so I don't need to create complications by logging on with an account that does not have the admin rights. I am hoping by August next year that I will get there eventually as I have caught up on a lot of things. Sometimes I wonder if I should work for a big company so that there are enough people to do the work lol.
At least I have got my clients running as standard users - only took me about two years to get that accomplished!
