Hi,

I want to restrict some members of Domain Administrator group only to read AD.
It means no reseting passwords, no deleting users or other objects, no
making new objects, only read.

Is this possible and how?

Thanx in advance!

Take those members out of Domain Admins and place them in Domain Users

Hi

I believe this doesn't work because the Domain Admins are Windows Protected
Group and after an hour the PDC would replace permissions according with
AdminSDHolder object.

problem is that they must be DomainAdmins....

Or maybe to put them in some other group similar to DomainAdmins?

Is there group similar to that?

Why they need to be Domain Admins?

Protected groups are
Windows 2000
Enterprise Admins
Schema Admins
Domain Admins
Administrators
Administrators

For Windows 2000 SP4 or Windows 2003
Account Operators
Server Operators
Print Operators
Backup Operators
Domain Admins
Schema Admins
Enterprise Admins
Cert Publishers

Well they have to have more rights than simple user.

I just want to restrict them for AD.

Maybe server operators group can be enough?

Well I can't answer that because you didn't told me exacly why they need to
be domain Admins.
Server Operator Groups are also a protected group.

They must access to various servers and clients through administrative share
($) and other things that users can not do.

Give them admin rights on assets they need to manage. Otherwise they can
just stay as members of Domain Users

You could use group policy "restricted groups" or possibly a script to add a
group containing the relevent persons into the local admin group of these
PC/Servers.

This would be best practice.

You cannot restrict Domain Admins.

impossible!

as someone else said: remove them from the group... the only way

ask yourself... if you don't want them to do anything... why are they in the
domain admins group?
