I don't set the rules
I just follow the script

and, unfortunately, modern kit DOES have all the whistles and bells [USB / FDD / CD-DVD ROM]
it was / still is an easy option

it allows any user who has an account on the server, to log in and have admin rights on that machine

ANY machine in the domain

have seen and implemented it in too many places now
nothing suprises me anymore

I would have thought / hoped that there was a 'better' way that would be easier to implement that would 'filter' some accounts, and allow others

but, so far, login and be your own admin

there ARE restrictions on www usage and D/L's
but to me, the words 'stable door' and 'horses' come to mind ..............
