1















I'm new to windows, I have a question that if I have a pc and that pc joined and AD windows server, does admin have full access to my pc, even though he/she doesn't have my password, for example: access to local disk and get files on the pc, install whatever softwares they want?



Is that possible?

    Yes; If the PC is joined to the domain, then any user on the domain, can log into the machine. Additionally, the domain administrator could, remotely connect to the machine.

In short yes. The AD administrator(s) has full administrative access to that machine, and to your files. If the AD Admin wanted or needed to, they could also remove your privileges, and make adjustments without your knowledge or permission.

  • @TuyenPham - Only an Administrator on the machine can remove a machine from an Active Directory domain. Even if you only use a local machine, once the machine was added to the domain, any domain user can log into the machine. Without being an Administrator on the domain there is nothing you can do to prevent that.

  • Does it require anything to add a pc to an Ad? Because if I unregis it and someone freely to add it back to AD, it's a problem.
