I have to give an outside consultant a login account to all my servers so that he can &quot;Look them over&quot; before making a proposal to management.<br />
<br />
He will be accessing the domain via PPTP VPN, and then probably doing remote desktop as needed to the servers.<br />
<br />
I need to create a read only account for him without re-inventing the wheel in my network and servers.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance

Read only Admin access to domain servers

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
