[Tfug] Windows / domain controller question, sorry.

[Eric Gearhart]

We should probably take this off-list.... but if you have physical access to
the machines there are ways of getting local Admin on the boxes...

Have you already tried doing this the "right way" and talking to the
school's IT staff? TortoiseSVN isn't really a dangerous piece of software...
turtles don't bite or anything :)
