Just a quick response to say that if your domain admins don’t have separate admin and regular usage accounts, make this 
your key task for today.  Even non-domain admins that have other privileged access (Exchange admins, account admins, 
etc.) should have separate admin and regular usage accounts.  They should log into their desktops/laptops with a 
regular account and RDP or “Run As” their admin accounts when needed.

Subject: [SECURITY] AD and Domain Admin Policy?

What happened to Sony, I feel is the ‘tip of the iceberg’.  That said, do you have a “Domain Admin” policy at your 
school?  Can domain admins only login as themselves to computers they have control over?  Do your domain admins have a 
separate login when they need to check Kiosks, etc…. what about non-security issues like internal websites to look at 
today’s menu?

Thanks!
