I actually didn't know that elevation with UAC is a thing in (Windows) enterprise, and am still unsure what attack vector it protects against.
But I do see that it seems to make sense to people more knowledgable than me now.

Thanks for the great interaction, by the way.

There are some paranoid environments, and some feel there is a lot to be paranoid about.

But I do see that it seems to make sense to people more knowledgable than me now.

I'm not claiming to know everything or to be more knowledgeable. I'm only hoping to persuade you that sudo has benefits, and should be configured for your needs and policies.

Thanks for the great interaction, by the way.

I'm glad we can interact peacefully. I hope you have a great day or night!

Actually, no. I just had an emergency alert in on-call service cause there were 3 failed login attempts on one of our fire-walled hosts. 😂

Didn't mean to jinx you. 😂
