Administrators Build-in Local Group
There is Build-in Local Group such as the Administrators. It is said in a book that the member of this group can Access the computer from the network. Could somebody explain what it actually means. If it is a Local Group and the member of this group is a local account, which way access from the network can be realized? (I do not undestand)

Hi, Based on my research, members of Administrator Group have complete and unrestricted access to the computer/domain. Where did you see the comment of administrator group? If there is no full description, we cannot drop a conclusion.

If I understand your question correctly your are refering to the Local Administrator Group and Network Access. If a user account is placed in the Local Administrators Group that account will then have access to do anything on the computer. When it comes to network access it allows that user account to connect to the box remotely, either by using Remote Desktop or using windows explorer to browse the C drive from another computer on the network.

Hello, local admin group is only grant administrative tasks on local computer. It can not be used to access network resources other than the local computer.

O yes, I got it. A Domain Local Group account can be a member of the Build-In Local Group such as Administrators for instance when we include a PC into domain, Domain Administrators Group becomes a member of Administrators Local Group to allow Domain Admins access to any machines in domain, hence the ability "to access the computer from the network"
