Notes

A few best practices include:

  • Daily use of a computer is at the user-level, not as Admin.
    • Use Admin account to elevate privileges within the user account or to temporarily log in as Admin to make the necessary changes.
  • Don't establish network shares.
    • There are many, better options.
  • No labels
