Who is included in the Administrator Group

Figure 1: Who is in the Administrator Group

The first thing we will look at is a typical setup of a faculty members machine. In Figure 1, we can see from looking at the local machine's Administrators group Properties that there are several objects assigned to the local machine's Administrators group. The objects assigned to the Administrators group are as follows:

AD$\backslash$DomainAdmins Domain Administrators

AD$\backslash$eng-workgrp-mgr Engineering Work Group Manager

AD$\backslash$tjl3 AD User ID

Administrator Local Administrator ID

plg Local "backdoor" password protected userid for EECS administrators' use

The screen seen in Figure 1 is the "normal" place we set up our groups when following our standard directions for setting up a machine on Active Directory. This screen can be displayed by clicking on start $\Rightarrow$ Control Panel $\Rightarrow$ Administrative Tools $\Rightarrow$ Computer Management $\Rightarrow$ Local Users and Groups $\Rightarrow$ Groups $\Rightarrow$ right click Groups and select Properties.
