It isn't an issue, it is by design and it isn't going to change.
Use different passwords on the accounts if you don't want the admin on one machine to access resources on another machine. It is bad security practice to use identical passwords on multiple accounts anyway.

I have a Windows 2003 Active Directory environment. I have XP workstations and member servers with the local administrator account password set the same. I logged into the XP workstation as the local administrator. Then I was able to access all the administrative shares of the other workstations and member servers that have the same password. I would be able to unc path to \\server\c$ without a domain authenication prompt. I remember this was an issue in the NT domain days when you could log on to other domains with if the administrator account and passwords were the same. I checked another Windows 2003 AD as well as a 2000 AD and it still happened. Any ideas why and how to stop it?.
