How to render a Vista install useless

By aaron.axvig, Wed, 02/07/2007 - 03:00
  1. Install Vista.
  2. Join Domain.
  3. Reboot.
  4. Perform Installs As Domain User (And Put Up With UAC).
  5. Disable UAC.
  6. Move Desktop Offsite.
  7. Enjoy lack of priviledges to make any further changes, as the domain administrator account was never logged into on the computer, and hence its credentials aren't cached for Windows logon.  Can't re-enable UAC either (on the off chance that THOSE credentials are cached), as you don't have the privileges.
  8. Surf the internet without flash or PDF support until reformatting the computer.
