When joining a Windows workstation to an Active Directory domain, what should you do with any local user accounts that are not strictly required for recovery or management purposes?
Disable them whenever possible
Rotate their passwords frequently
Grant them additional rights
Use them exclusively
In a domain environment, centrally managed domain credentials should be used wherever possible. Disabling unneeded local user accounts reduces the attack surface, prevents lateral-movement attacks that leverage cached local credentials, and stops former employees whose domain accounts are disabled from signing on with leftover local accounts. Microsoft's security baselines note you can operate with no administrative local accounts enabled and rely solely on domain accounts for administration.
