| Jul 2, 2013 at 15:07 | comment | added | voretaq7 Mod | Best Practice type questions can do well here, but they need to be Good Questions. (This one isn't particularly awful - with a little editing it could even be good/canonical. The bad ones are super-broad "What are the best practices for running a hosting provider?" or ones where the only answer is "Pick what works best for your situation") | |

How many Windows admins set service accounts to deny interactive login and/or set the shell to logoff.exe? Truth is, most Windows administrators run services as the built-in domain administrator. This site used to be described generically as a "best practice community," and now look how far we've fallen. We used to care about improving and informing the next generation of professionals. Check out @KyleBrandt's top-rated answers. Most of those underlying questions would get shot down in a heartbeat today. | |

@MilesErickson: The accepted answer begins There isn't really a specific best practice, shrugs

Furthermore, @FalconMomot was able to the question succinctly and uncontroversially. Speaking impartially as someone who almost never asks questions here, I am completely sick of seeing valid, on-topic questions get closed for reasons of personal preference. | |
