Dear all,
In our Enterprise Domain, I have created a a admin user that is identical to all systems that are within my AD/W2K Domain. It was created more so for a back-door use just incase if other userID were to fail.
One of the problem that I am having is that people who has access to those servers with admin previlege, contineously keeps changing password.

I would like to know if there is any MS tweak where only one person can control password changes although there are a few people with admin rights.

Any advise is appreciated.
Thanks for your help.

I don't understand the problem in the first place.

If
a) There are a few userid's with admin rights (which means: belonging to Administrators group)
b) Only YOU do know the backdoor id, and use it

Then why should these others need to change the password on your backdoor id? It is sufficient that they change pw on their own id...

Create another group cloned from Administrator. Then remove the right to change passwords for it. Put all these so called Admins in that group. Of course they won't be true admins anymore.
