Changing settings when logging on as Administrator?

Hi there,

When I initially setup 10 laptops I created a user called Admin that has

full admin rights in addition to the individual user account and two extra

Power Profiles to suit our Technicians way of working.

This works well with the advantage that the user can't override the power

settings that seem locked by default.

So far so good...

However when I took a look at some of the laptops the other day I logged on

as Admin briefly and also as the default Administrator to check the password

on both accounts.

Upon logging off (and leaving site) I got a call from a couple of Techs who,

after the machine comes out of standby now have to input their password to

log back on.

This behaviour did not display prior to my logging on as Admin &

Administrator.

Now I did not change anything with regard to this setting within power

profiles and I asked the user to check the setting for 'Prompt for password

when resuming from standby' only to find it is now checked.

Obviously the User cannot remove the check as they do not have the

privilege.

When I was able to logon remotely I also noticed that the two power profiles

I setup were not visible to Administrator and I had to temporarily promote

the user to give him full Admin rights so he could alter things before

logging on again to demote his account to that of limited user.

There has to be an easier way!

How can I prevent this annoying behaviour from happening in the future and

are there any more issues that might be inadvertently changed from my just

logging on with Administrative rights?
