1. Why shouldn't administrators be assigned to the Administrators group?

2. What is the purpose of the Run As program?

3. What are the two ways of invoking the Run As Program?

Lesson Summary

Running Windows Server 2003 as an administrator makes the system vulnerable to Trojan horse attacks and other security risks. Therefore, you should not assign yourself to the Administrators group and you should avoid running your computer while logged on as an administrator.

For most computer activity, you should assign yourself to the Users or Power Users group. If you need to perform an administrator-only task, such as upgrading the operating system or configuring system parameters, you should log on as an administrator, perform the task, and then log off.

If you frequently need to log on as an administrator, ...
... you can use the Run As program to start programs as an administrator. The Run As program allows you to run specific tools and programs with permissions other than those provided by the account with which you are currently logged on. The Run As program can be invoked on the desktop or by using the Runas command.

1. Why would you rename a user account and what is the advantage of doing so?

Rename a user account if you want a new user to have all of the properties of a former user, including permissions, desktop settings, and group membership. The advantage of renaming an account is that you do not have to rebuild all of the properties as you do for a new user account.

2. Why would you disable a user account and what is the advantage of doing so?

Disable a user account when a user does not need an account for an extended period, but will need it again. The advantage of disabling a user account is that when the user returns, you can enable the user account so that the user can log on to the network again without having to rebuild a new account.

3. How is a disabled user account designated in the Active Directory Users And Com?
