Many people using NT/2000 don't understand this concept

Now, when Nick logs on to the local box as "BigDomain\Nick", then he's got admin rights on the local box

Only one small problem - I don't want admin rights on the local box.

OK. Maybe I'm carrying my professional life (VMS Systems Manager) too much into my home life, but normal, day to day, tasks should never be run with full privs. That's what the admin account is for.

Now, I'm not saying that I shouldn't have to run it as admin (either by logging off and on as admin, or by one of those dinky "run this installation as X" dialogs), but it would be nice if this requirement was in the docs and didn't result in a crash and burn error.

Nicholas.
