Recovery agent

Hi,
Is it true that in Windows 200 Domain, only Administrator is a recovery agent by default but not in Windows XP?

Thanks,

This is true on a XP machine that belongs to a workgroup. In a domain the Domain Admin that sets up the first domain controllers acts as the recovery agent. You can also use group policy to setup recovery agents as well

Thanks, it is clear now.
