Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to create a non-deletable user
account in XPSP2? I support a team of users that have admin rights
(developers). Occasionally, they lock themselves out and have already
changed the local Administrator p/w. I'd like to create a new user
account that they cannot delete (similar to the built-in admin account)
so I can still access their machine. If they change THAT p/w, I have
an out but they'll prob first del the acct.
I'd prefer to do it in VB (VB6, .NET, VBS - I don't really care) so I
can automate deployment from AD GPO, but I can't see how to make the
account non-deleting without lowering them to 'power user'. (BTW, I've
already been told by the bosses that lowering rights is not
acceptable.)
Any thoughts?
