I am running SQL server 2000 on Windows 2000 in windows authentication mode.
There is only one user database on the SQL instance.

Windows “domain users” group is part of the public role and one custom
database role that has permissions only for few tables in the user database.

For some reason SQL server allows ALL users belongs to “domain users” group
to have admin rights on the SQL server. They are able to create logins,
create DTS packages, run jobs, modify tables, etc. I tried assigning
different database roles (“db_datareader”, db_datawriter”, etc), but nothing
seems to work.

Anyone has any suggestions to fix this problem? Thanks
