Domain Admins

General Mitigations

  • Do not allow or limit login of DAs to any other machine other than the Domain Controllers

  • If logins to some servers are necesarry, do not allow other administrators to login to that machine

  • Never run a service with Domain Admin privileges as it makes many credential theft protections useless in case of a service account

Temporary Group Membership

  • Temporarily add user to a group

  • Requires Privileged Access Management Feature to be enabled which can't be turned off later
