Local Administrator group permission and logon question
If a domain user is added into the local PC/Laptop Administrator group,
1. Can this user logon to the PC/Laptop when the network is DOWN? If so, why?
2. If this domain user can logon without network access, can this user do what a local adminstrator can on this PC/Laptop?

QPR - I will do better next time to rephrase the question.
I have a mobile user in the the administrator group with their domain user account. They can logon to the laptop. When the user tried to edit and save the system's hosts file the user do not have permission to save the file.
Everything seems to be setup correctly.
Thanks

johnb6767 - you are correct that it is ReadOnly.
Even though, the concept of this user in the Administrators group should give the user permission to edit this file?
The user was able to edit the hosts file but had to select "run as administrator" when using notepad.
Is this the norm, having to select "run as administrator" to protect the system even though the user is in the Adminitrators group?
