    Hello everybody, If a user is signed in with a MS account (e.g. [email protected]) can (s)he also be a member of the Domain Admins group? Thank you.

    another curious question....

    I see "points" and "trophy". What are they ? I also see some members are listed as "senior member", some are "active member", and some are "new" etc etc. Other than the "new member" category, what is the measuring tape for the rest ? I cannot find anywhere that explains those. Thank you.
