I would just like to know what is a best practice for a PC's local admin
account. Should the user that is assigned to that PC have local admin
rights? Just wanted to see what the majority of people might think.
 
In my opinion, they should not be a local administrator unless absolutely
necessary. Best practices of security dictate that a user have the minimum
rights/permissions necessary to do their job. A user with local
administrator account can do things like install unsecure/unathorized
software, reconfigure tcp/ip, disable a personal firewall, modify the
registry, unjoin themselves from the domain, etc. --- Steve
