Lazy Windows

Typical windows Server environment

All servers have the same local Administrator password – easier to remember. Domain controller and file-servers do have internet access – it easier to activate windows that way, isn’t it? Easy to guess Domain Admin password, which does never expire – makes remembering easier. Why not agree on an easy standard password for any place, where a password is required? – This makes life and collaboration a lot easier. And this annoying Windows firewall is disabled by default anyway – it just keeps blocking important traffic.

Service account must be member of the Domain Admins group and have a never expiring password (the standard password)– you don’t have to think about privileges. Some Service accounts are used for multiple services with no logical connection.

And anyway, documentation is for wimps – no documentations helps securing my job

 

Is it lazy IT Guys, or is it time-pressure causing this?
