Sorry that was actually a bit of a facetious joke; DRM (Digital Restrictions Management)could,effectively, make DRM compliant PCs such that there are programs that they cannot run, hence they would not be Turing complete. I didn't mean that DRM would help in firing sysadmins. The rest of it is good advice though. Carrots work better than sticks (except that some 'donkeys' apparently like pain. Ahem).
Here's a good hint: hire reasonable people, treat them well. To help them help you, establish access policies, keep admins accountable, and track access rights. Require more than one person to carry out certain critical actions. Keep in mind that accounting and cleanup procedures are the last line of defense. When employees turn against you, you can clean it all up, but they still are an enemy you rather would not have.
