AD Admin Access is a Privilege, Not a Right

by @ Friday, April 17th, 2015. Filed under tech

by @ Tuesday, March 24th, 2015. Filed under tech

The AD Assessment reports that I regularly see lately from various “largish” “well known” Third Party Consulting companies seem to often be no more than bad opinions and sensationalism to try and make the customer feel good for over-paying for the AD “Consultants” to come in and look around.
