Administrative Accounts not part of the Domain Users

by Mary Rose 29. December 2011 15:06

In every organization there exists a somewhat buried but very dangerous keyhole, that is the presence of administrative accounts which are not part of the Domain Users. Those accounts are actually hidden from the IT manager’s standard tracked list of domain administrative accounts and can be used by malware to install malicious software on local computers through the “local” administrator account.  Further penetration into the IT environment is then accessible by capturing passwords, including passwords for access to critical data.   It is essential that IT security and operations managers have a method for mitigating this risk.

Sign-up today for our 35 minute live demo session featuring our free tool Local Admin Discovery that allows you to discover user accounts and groups that are members of the local “Administrators” built-in user group on computers in your Windows domain.
