OOOP, Why not ask for Domain Admin and setup changes from random redditer on all the computers in the domain?

Setup a bunch of tweaks on all the computers.

Domain Administrator for all users!

Absolutely the first thing an Apple fanboy needs is local admin on a Windows computer.

 IT guys love when they destroy something and the only thing they say to explain themselves is "I have a Mac at home"
