By default, SQL Server will add the BUILTIN\Administrators
group to the sysadmin role. So everyone in the local admins
group is a sysadmin.
You can remove the builtin\administrators group from SQL
Server. However, under some scenarios, this can cause
problems. Whether you experience problems or not depends.
The following article has a more information section with
links to some issues that could come up:
