First post eh. Be very careful when asking this type of quesiton.

Being very careful would entail giving more information then what is presented. Otherwise it just looks like your're trying to scam something.

Um... yeah. First post.

OK, more info:

I have the pleasure of maintaining a GIS server (the 2000 box mentined above), and at times must allow others local admin access on the box (for installation of software extensions, testing and development of GIS software customizations or standalone programs, etc) and am wondering what methods someone who is a member of the local admin group on this box *might* use to gain rights elsewhere on the network should they choose to do so.

Is that what you meant by more info???
