Are Domain Admins as powerful as Enterprise Admins?
 
 


Hi All,

This is my first post on this message board, and I hope to learn from your input and share my admin experiences and knowledge with you all, so thank you in advance for considering my question.

I would like to know if Domain Admins are really as powerful as Enterprise Admins? confuse

I mean I know that they are not as powerful by default, but could a Domain Admin elevate their privilege to that of an Enterprise Admin? I ask because we have multiple domains, and while we only have a few Enterprise Admins, we do have a siezable number of Domain Admins in our domains, and we often wonder if they could somehow be as powerful as us.

Thanks for your input.

- Chad

Dobryj Vyechyer comrade!  Kak vy pozhivayetye?

Good question, and I'm sure one that a lot of you have wondered about.

Let me answer your question with a question...

Q. Do you know which is the most powerful group in Active Directory?

I'll give you a hint - it is neither Domains Admins, nor Enterprise Admins.

I can answer your question in ONE minute, but I would also like to give other comrades on the forum a chance to think about this and provide their inputs.

Do svidaniya!

Hello Yelena,

Are you saying that there is a group in Active Directory that is MORE POWERFUL than even Domain Admins or Enterprise Admins?

Also, if you don't mind me asking, are you from Russia? (I only ask because you use the words Comrade, and that reminded me of the movie Salt.)

Jack

Hi Jack,

Yes, that's exactly what I am saying - there is a group in Active Directory that is more powerful than Domain Admins and Enterprise Admins. Do you know which one it is?

Also, yes, I am from Russia.
