Domain User Account Can Access Local Admin Account?

Hi there,

 

I've upgraded from whs11 so as of now I'm only used to the workgroup "way of things". but when installing ws12e I decided to use a domain instead of a workgroup... after connecting my laptop-client with the server (using the connector software) I was prompted with the initial user account setup as expected. when looking around to see what has actually changed I noticed that I could access (read/write) the local user accounts' folders - including the administator's folders. I even was able to delete/rename files in the system files folders. I was not prompted with any warning message...just as if I actually were an admin.

 

note: I use separate local admin and user accounts. And use the (non-admin) user account by default.  

in addition, when going into the system settings and trying to change some settings that can only be changed by admins I was able to pass the authentification with the local administrator's credentials as well as with the network administrator's credentials. 

 

Is this normal/expected behaviour? I am quite disturbed by this and think of de-installing, and re-installing ws12e with workgroup enabled.

 

Has anyone experienced anything like this? Any comment is appreciated!

 

Thank you.
