Humm, I think you might have miss understood me. Since you are on a domain create an domain account like: DomainServices, add it to the Domain Admins, then give it a complex long password. Use that account to whatever you need, updates, patches, backups, scheduled jobs, connecting to remote machines, services that need to run on a machine, etc. etc. etc. This way you are NOT adding your Domain Users to Domain Admins or Local Administrators. Since the Domain Account is Admin on all machines it will be able to do everything. Keep the password safe and you should be good. -WS
