Our corporate environment is almost completely full of administrators.
The EMEA region is tighter, but ASIAPAC and AMERICAS regions and
basically 100% admins. Management dont see the point "if the machine
can just be re-imaged".... god save us.  Mind you our EMEA region
everyone is a "Power User" which as most will know can get Admin
rights in about 1 minute.

More worrying was the Domain Admins logging onto their PCs every day
with those privs.. omg
