Hi

We add "NT Authority\Interactive" in the local Administrators group
to let all domain users automatically be local admins when they log
on to a computer interactively.

This is more secure than adding "Authenticated Domain users ",
"Domain Users", "NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users" or any other
global security group because you avoid the issue with cross
network admin rights (remote access) that these groups introduces.
