   You haven't given enough info to judge whether you would be prompted =
at all.  Just remember that there is no prompting for remote =
administrative tasks.  It's for local tasks.

   Of course, you would be well advised to follow long standing guidance =
that you should not log in using your domain admin account for normal =
work.  But then you already know this.

  Today I was in server manager at least a half dozen times from the PDC =
and 2 BDC machines, user manager at least as many, I attached to C$ on = at
least 10 computers, I configured 6 websites on 4 different web = servers,
added 8 domains, removed 3 domains from DNS, etc etc etc.

  My day is spent doing stuff like that, all day, every day.

       I know you like to make your claims by simple assertion.  How =
about backing it up.

       How often do you perform local interactive administrative tasks =
on each of the client desktops of the users for whom you are =
administrators?  What are they?

      >>  The elevation is only needed to perform tasks that require an
      administrator.  These simply are not common.

      They are plenty common if your job title is administrator..
