One reason is one becomes dependent on the domain controller security, which may change on a daily basis with windows security updates. There is a divide between the administrator and system account privileges, which get inherited by the processes they start up. So one winds up with situations where it worked, then it doesn't, then one reboots, and sometimes that helps and sometimes it doesn't, then one reinstalls, and one doesn't have the same privileges so it doesn't work, so then one comes whining to cdos when the problem is most certainly Bill Gates' fault, and one wonders why one gets abused. Hypothetically.
