How about changing the password on "sa" so no one uses it at all. It's a
much better idea to grant specific users admin rights should they
require them and use Windows Authentication. Even if you use SQL
Security, you'll at least know who the admin is that is attached. It's a
good idea to secure the "sa" account and have no one use it. Put a
really obnoxious password on the account and store the password in the
company safe.
