Why is it that the administrator of the domain is able to log in Sharepoint sevices without a user account being created for it. Is there a way I can prevent an administrator of the network to log in to sharetpoint site? Thanx.
 
local administrators have allways rights on wss and sps.
This is by design. (to prevent to lock yourselves out, if you log on locally as the local administrator of a server you have allways admin rights on wss and sps)

you can add another account as "site administrator" and remove the domain\administrator account if you do not want to have this person logged on.

it's a bad habit to have multiple users use the same account (eg administrator) for administration purposes.
everyone should have his own administrator account with only the necessary rights to perform his job.

hope this helps
