Ok, but what qualifies a user as Administrator?

In a environment where you are not the only administrative person, you
certainly do not want to suggest that every administrative user logs in
with the same "Administrator" account, sharing its password. I see many
reasons not to do this (safety, practicability, traceability, ...).

So, the question remains: What's wrong with creating specific
"administrative" users and then making them members of the "Domain
Admins" group? And if that's really a bad idea, how do you do it
properly?

Greetings,
Stefan
